The Ichabods earned three first-team spots along with three second-team berths, one third-team pick and one honorable mention.
Senior forward Khloe Schuckman earned first-team All-MIAA honors for the third straight season. Schuckman, a Wichita Bishop Carroll product, tied for the conference lead in all scoring categories, recording seven goals and four assists for 18 total points. Schuckman has earned All-MIAA recognition each of her four seasons for the Ichabods.
Former Washburn Rural star Belle Kennedy was a first-team All-MIAA selection as a midfielder for the second consecutive year. The junior played in all 12 conference games, tallying 629 minutes. Kennedy scored two goals and added one assist in MIAA play, with both goals being game-winners.
Baldwin native Josie Boyle, a senior defender, was named to the All-MIAA first team after receiving honorable mention in 2023. The senior played 1,035 minutes across all 12 games in conference play, scoring two goals and contributing to 11 shutouts in conference play.
Washburn Rural product Hailey Beck was named the All-MIAA second-team goalkeeper. The sophomore did not allow a goal in the seven conference matches she played in, making 18 saves before missing the final five conference games with an injury. Beck posted a 6-0-1 record in goal, playing 630 shutout minutes.
Senior defender Jordan Tenpas was a second-team pick at defender, her second all-conference selection in her second year as an Ichabod. Tenpas played in 11 conference matches, recording 959 minutes played and contributing to 10 shutouts. Tenpas recorded six shots from the back line, with three on target.
Viviana Soto-Herrera made the all-conference second team as a midfielder for the second straight year. The senior started all 12 conference games, scoring three goals and making one assist. Soto-Herrera was highly efficient on offense, recording a 0.643 shots on goal percentage.
Lindsey Maul earned All-MIAA honors for the first time in her career, making the All-MIAA third team at defender. Maul played in all 12 conference games, playing 621 minutes and making one assist. The sophomore helped the Washburn defense post 11 shutouts in conference play.
Junior Lakin received all-conference honorable mention for the first time in her career. Rold played 905 minutes across 12 starts in conference play. The junior was part of a Washburn defense that only allowed two goals in MIAA action.
The Ichabods, who have won back-to-back regular-season conference titles, open MIAA Tournament play as the No. 1 seed, hosting No. 8 seed Fort Hays State to Yager Stadium on Sunday for a 1 p.m. quarterfinal.
