ACC champion North Carolina boasted a pair of honorees with Eliza Osburn (Freshman of the Year) and Jenny Levy (Coach of the Year), while Virginia’s Kate Galica – another Conestoga alum – was selected Midfielder of the Year.
Clark leads the nation in goals (91) and ranks second nationally in points (125) this season. Her 4.79 goals per game and 5.95 points per game averages top the conference and rank second nationally. Clark also boasts a league-best 10 game-winning goals this year. She was a First-Team All-ACC selection for the third straight season and earned All-ACC honors for the fourth time in her career. Clark is BC’s first Attacker of the Year honoree since Sam Apuzzo in 2018 and 2019.
Galica earned ACC season honors for the second straight season after notching Freshman of the Year honors in 2024. A First-Team All-ACC honoree, she has scored 40 goals and assisted on eight more this season. She has totaled a league-best 160 draw controls, setting a school single-season record, while also leading the conference in draw controls per game (9.41).
