Hall of Fame
One of the greatest defensive players in the history of the CCAA, Tony Alfaro translated the skills he developed at Cal State Dominguez Hills into a professional career in Major League Soccer (MLS).
During his four years with the Toros, Alfaro became one of the most decorated student-athletes in the storied history of CSUDH soccer. He was a three-time D2CCA All-West Region selection and a two-time NSCAA All-American. The conference coaches voted him the 2015 CCAA Defensive Player of the Year after he led the Toros to the CCAA regular-season title.
The Seattle Sounders FC drafted Alfaro in 2016, and in his rookie season, he made 24 appearances while helping the club win its first MLS Cup. After a brief stint with Mexican powerhouse Chivas de Guadalajara and former United Soccer League club Reno 1868, Alfaro returned to MLS and joined DC United. In January 2023, he signed a contract with New York City FC. In his career, he has made 68 appearances (42 starts).
