Class:
1966

Raymond Yando was a two-time all-American in men's soccer who received the honors in 1964 and 1965. A stalwart defender, Yando was part of a stingy defensive unit that tallied seven shutouts. A two-time captain, Yando was named all-New England and all-Yankee Conference twice apiece.

As a junior, he was a second team all-American and he followed that up by earning a spot on the first team as a senior, helping lead UMass to the Yankee Conference championship.

UMass allowed just 16 goals in 10 games in 1964 and 13 goals in 10 games in 1965. Those two goals allowed totals are ninth and fourth best in school history.

Yando received a B.S. in education in 1966 from the University of Massachusetts.
