One of the most decorated goalkeepers in history of the men's soccer program Andrew Hlushko joins the Manhattan College Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2019. Hlushko broke out in a big way as a sophomore in 1980, garnering All-Tri-State Conference honors while also being cited as the Most Valuable Goalkeeper in the league. Hlushko would build off his initial success and finish his career with 341 saves and a then-school-record 12 shutouts, including six in one season. His record of 12 shutouts would stand the test of time and was the program standard for over 35 years, before being broken in 2018. Additionally, his single-season total of six, including five-straight, is tied for third in the all-time annals. He would go on to earn All-Conference honors again as a sophomore in 1981 and as a junior in 1982, while serving as a co-captain for the Jaspers. On an international level, Hlushko was in net for the Jaspers first friendly in 1981, as the Jaspers played the University College of Galway to a hard-fought 1-1 draw on Gaelic Park. While Hlushko's outdoor statistics were very impressive, he was equally dominant in the indoor game, as he led Manhattan to the semifinals of the Marist indoor tournament in 1980. Later that season, Hlushko again guided the Jaspers to the semifinals of the Pratt Invitational and the Finals of the Kronenburg Invitational. His play at the Kronenburg invite earned him a spot on the All-Tournament Team. His standout play was all the more impressive as the style of play was much more difficult, due to closer-range shots and different offensive attack angles. Hlushko graduated from Manhattan with a degree in Engineering and has maintained strong ties to the college. He served on the School of Engineering's Electrical Department Board of Advisors for 12 years from 2002-2014, and has hired 11 graduates from Manhattan to his current firm, Collado Engineering.
