KANSAS – The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) is pleased to announce the 2025 KCAC Women's Soccer All-Conference teams and individual award winners, as voted on by the head women's soccer coaches.
 
A host of Spire women's soccer athletes earned themselves a spot on the list for their efforts this season, including seniors Rebecca Lord, defender Tessa Lucas, forward Kate Erpelding, forward Sadie Dipman, defender Jaimie Piedra, and junior goalkeeper Avah Casarez, each of them having an exceptional year for the Spires.

Midfielder, Rebecca Lord, started in all 19 games for USM, leading the team with 9 goals, 4 assists, and 22 SOGs. Defenders, Tessa Lucas and Jaimie Piedra, starred in 18 and 19 games, respectively, for the Spires and proved instrumental on the defensive side and aiding in the seven shut-outs USM posted this year, keeping their opponents on their toes. Midfielder/Forward from Leavenworth, Kansas, Sadie Dipman, had her hand in the success the Spires saw this year, netting two goals and an assist. Dipman's leadership efforts were key as the senior posted the second most minutes on the team all season, proving the power of her presence on the pitch. Junior goalkeeper, Avah Casarez, anchored USM this year with an impressive save percentage of 0.792 with 57 saves and only 15 goals allowed in her 15 games started.
