Vanguard University

Parents: Stephen & Lisa Ronco

Birthday: January 9, 2004


2025: Coming off the broken foot, Ronco featured in 16 games, 12 of which had him in the opening lineup. He was certainly active, as his 25 shots and 12 shots-on-goal were the second-most on the team despite only 789 minutes. Fittingly, his first goal back from injury came in his hometown of San Diego at PLNU, giving the Lions the one-nil lead in the first 100 seconds of that match. He pocketed another at Westmont in the regular season, before returning to Santa Barbara for Vanguard's first postseason venture in the NCAA Division-II era. Ronco scored the first PacWest Tournament goal in program history there courtesy of a Luke Parker assist in the 88th minute. Ronco earned CSC Academic All-District honors.

2024: Did not play due to injury.

2023: Starting in 12 games and playing in 17, Ronco slotted in seven goals and improved from his freshman year with three assists.  He fired 30 shots throughout the season and put 17 on target.  He had four games with three shots and pumped five away at Arizona Christian, though his most efficient day was when all three of his shots hit the mark against Whittier.  Playing 950 minutes, three of Ronco's goals were game winners.

2022: Jumping into the fray as a freshman, Ronco played in every game and started in 10, including nine of the last 10.  He unleased 32 shots for the Blue and Gold and directed 18 of those on target.  He was third on the team in shots and second on the squad in shots on goal and had 712 minutes on the field.  His first shot came in his first game against Chapman, with his first goal coming in the next contest at home against Saint Katherine.  His lone assist came in the victory against Life Pacific and he five shots against La Sierra as he season-high.  He ended the season with a .563 shooting percentage.

HS: Was a CIF Open-Division Champion his junior year.
