Alfonso joined Ristozi FC during the MDV Winter Cup and immediately stood out with his work ethic, professionalism, and defensive presence. Since then, he’s become an irreplaceable leader in our back line.
Through four matches, Ristozi has kept three clean sheets, conceded just two goals, and currently sits 3rd in the nation with a perfect 4-0-0 record and a +17 goal difference.
“Alfonso is one of those players every coach hopes to have. He brings effort, humility, and consistency every single day. Watching his development since the winter has been special — and this nomination is proof that hard work gets noticed.”
Soriano played his college ball at Harford Community College, where he developed into one of the top defenders in the region. He recently committed to Florida International University (FIU) and will begin the next chapter of his career in Fall 2025.
