FULLERTON, Calif. – After leading the Titans with 19 points, Jose de la Torre has been named Big West Midfielder of the Year for the second consecutive season, the conference announced Friday. 

De la Torre is the second Titan to earn back-to-back midfielder of the year honors after Erick Serrano who did so in 2023 and 2024. The junior continues the success of midfielders at Cal State Fullerton, marking the fifth consecutive season a Titan has earned the award going back to Sebastian Cruz in 2022. 

The Moreno Valley native is just the fourth student-athlete in the history of the Big West to be named Midfielder of the Year in back-to-back seasons. 

De la Torre led the Titans with 19 points this season on seven goals and five assists. His 19 points ranked tied for fifth in The Big West while his seven goals and five assists both ranked tied for fifth in the conference as well. 

De la Torre finished the season in style, scoring his first career hat trick in the Titans 3-1 win at Sacramento State on Oct. 31 to earn his first career conference player of the week honor.
