FARMINGTON, Minn. – After its fourth MIAC regular season title in five years, the Carleton College women's soccer team was well represented in the MIAC Soccer Awards. The Knights placed five players on the All-MIAC first team – seniors Lola Feurer, Zaraya Jordan, Lily Shure, Avery Trapp, and Hadley Twichell. Head coach Jessica Mueller was named the MIAC Women's Soccer Coach of the Year for the third time in her coaching career. Additionally, Twichell and Lauren Caldwell were named to the MIAC All-Playoff team.

Mueller was previously named Coach of the Year in 2022 and 2023. This season, she steered the Knights to a 13-1-3 record, a 10-0-1 mark in MIAC play, and their fourth consecutive NCAA Championships berth. In her six years leading the Knights, Carleton is 81-17-21. She has coached 29 All-MIAC honorees.
 
Feurer tied for second on the Knights in both goals and assists, scoring five goals and dishing out four assists. The Illinois native started all 17 of Carleton's games, and has almost matched her scoring totals from last year (6g, 4a) in six fewer games. Feurer was incredibly consistent, never going more than two games without contributing a goal or assist.
 
Jordan earned her third career All-MIAC nod, leading the defense from her center-back spot.  The senior missed some time with injury, but when she started Carleton recorded six shutouts and allowed just six goals across 11 games. 
 
Shure had a career year on the right wing, knocking in five goals and dealing eight assists (second in the MIAC). Those eight assists are tied for the most by a Knight since 1997, and second-most all time (see chart below). Three of Shure's five goals were game-winners, and the Knights went 9-0-0 when she scored or assisted a goal.
 
Trapp continued a record-setting career at goalkeeper for Carleton en route to her third All-MIAC selection. The senior entered the season with the most goalkeeping wins and shutouts in Carleton history, and extended her lead with 13 more victories and eight clean sheets. Trapp allowed a goals against average of 0.49 and carded a 0.846 save percentage. Additionally, her 0.542 goals against average for her career currently places her atop the Carleton career leaderboard in that category (see chart below).
 
Twichell came up big time and time again for the Knights, with four game-winning goals (third in the MIAC) out of her total of seven. Twichell became just the second player in Carleton history to assist three goals in a single game on Oct. 14 against Augsburg. That was part of an explosive second half of the season where she scored five goals and added four assists in the Knights' last eight games to date.
 
The Knights received an at-large bid to the 2026 NCAA Championships. They will play Elmhurst University on Saturday, Nov. 14. The game will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
