Ana Campa, Sr. | 1st Team All-Conference—Defender
Campa has been solid on defense for the Cardinals, as part of a back line that has allowed a minimal number of shots on goal. Campa started 17 games for the Cardinals this season, playing every minute in those matches. 
 
Keeley Ayala, So. | 2nd Team All-Conference—Forward
Ayala leads the team in goals scored with 13, scoring the 13th one in the Cardinals' final regular season game against the Abilene Christian (Nov. 1). She has scored at least one goal in eight of the 11 SLC matches, while scoring twice against Houston Baptist (Oct. 11). Ayala has been a strong force for the Cardinals offense, racking up 70 shots against opponents (standing third in conference) with 30 on frame for a shots on goal percentage of .429. The sophomore is tied for 15th in the nation for game-winning goals (5), Ayala's six-for-six record for penalty kicks attempted and made still leads the country.
 
Brooke Hanson, Sr. | 2nd Team All-Conference—Forward
Hanson has started all conference games for the Cardinals. She leads the team in assists with seven, which ranks fourth in conference play, while standing as her career high along with her five goals scored. The senior is third in game-winning goals with three. With 35 shots with 18 on target, her shot on goal percentage is .514.
 
Hannah Walsh, Fr. | 3rd Team All-Conference—Midfielder
Coming into UIW as a true freshman, the Lancashire, England native has made her mark as a dynamic midfielder. Starting 11 games Walsh has put off 35 shots, securing a .486 shot on goal percentage with 17 on frame. She netted her first goal of the career goal against McNeese on Oct. 18, where the Cardinals shut out the Cowgirls 2-0. She also had another crucial goal in UIW's 3-2 win over Sam Houston State (Oct. 25). Walsh has entered the conference leaderboard in her first year, ranking ninth in shots in SLC action (28) and eighth rank in shots on goal with 15.
 
Isabella Beletic, Jr. | 3rd Team All-Conference—Midfielder
Beletic has navigated the pitch contributing to goal-scoring opportunities for the Cardinals. She has started 18 games and clocked 1,469 minutes on the pitch, also putting out 10 shots with four on target.
