Shippensburg University junior defender Nate Herb was named Tuesday afternoon to the 2026 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Men's Soccer Team.
 
Herb was tabbed for the All-PSAC East First Team as a defender. Voting for the All-PSAC team is conducted by the league's head coaches.
 
Dependable along the SU backline, Herb was the only Raider to start all 16 games during the 2026 season.
 
Herb finished second on the team with three goals as a defender. He scored a pair of goals in SU's 3-1 triumph over Bloomsburg on Sept. 9 and was also credited with the game-winning goal Sept. 23 at Lackawanna. His two-goal performance against Bloomsburg garnered him PSAC Eastern Division Defensive Athlete of the Week.
 
All three of his goals came via set pieces.
 
It is the second consecutive All-PSAC recognition for Herb after being named to the Eastern Division Second Team in 2025. He becomes the first Raider defender to earn First Team honors since Austin Hill in 2011, and the program's first two-time All-PSAC player since Seth Crabbe (2021-22 First Team forward).
 
2026 PSAC Eastern Division major award winners included Eastern Division Athlete of the Steven Arias of East Stroudsburg and East Defensive Players of the Year Jaden Howard of West Chester. Shepherd garnered two major awards, as Moulay El Yagouti earned East Freshman of the Year and Ryan McDougall was named East Coach of the Year.
