While he didn’t see the field at all in 2017, Malvern, Pa. native Andrew Aprahamian became a national champion when Stanford beat Indiana 1-0 in double overtime in the College Cup final at Talen Energy Stadium last Sunday.

The Philadelphia Union Academy grad has taken a redshirt year this season, which has enabled him to train with the team but not play in games.

“For me, being part of this program is something I’ve worked so hard for. I’m very grateful to be here. As you can see the guys worked their tails off every game and it’s something I saw coming into the program,” Aprahamian said after Sunday’s game.
