Former North Allegheny boys’ soccer standout, Aidan Dyga, was recently named the Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year at Allegheny College by the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.

Scholar-Athlete write-up on Dyga courtesy of the PAC:
In just three years at Allegheny College, Aidan Dyga has accomplished more than most students can typically fit into four years. Not only did Dyga graduate early with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, but he did so with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. And after spending four months as a software engineering intern last summer, Dyga has already accepted a full-time software engineering role at Microsoft in Pittsburgh.
While at Allegheny, he contributed to multiple coding projects, including an educational coding website titled Code With Chompers, which features introductory programming lessons for elementary, middle, and high school students. Dyga is a Doane Scholar, Distinguished Alden Scholar, a College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District selection, and a member of the PAC’s Fall Academic Honor Roll. He also served as public relations director for the Association for Computing Machinery.
On the pitch, Dyga was an All-PAC Honorable Mention in 2024 and an All-PAC Second Teamer in 2025. He began last fall as a starting center back for the men’s soccer team, and his move to the top of the formation immediately sparked a successful late-season surge. He scored six goals in the last six games of the year, including the tying goal in an eventual 2-1 double-overtime comeback win over Washington and Jefferson in the PAC quarterfinals. Dyga also earned a PAC Offensive Player of the Week award after scoring thrice in a 2-0-0 week with wins over Franciscan and Thiel in late October. He ended the season with a career-high 13 points (6g-1a), tied for the second-most on the team despite playing a majority of the fall in a defensive role.
