CLAREMONT, Calif. - Six members of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's soccer team earned All-SCIAC honors for the 2025 season, the conference office announced today.
Junior defender
Ava Allen, senior goalkeeper
Sadie Brown, junior midfielder
Flora Glantz and senior midfielder
Cate Lewison earned spots on the All-SCIAC first team, while senior center back
Ivy Doran and junior forward
Jordan Yates captured second-team honors.
Allen, Brown and Doran were part of a defense that allowed only nine goals in 18 games, and enters postseason play with a stretch of five straight shutouts, including 0-0 draws with nationally ranked Pomona-Pitzer and Cal Lutheran.
Brown has been credited with eight solo shutouts and has been a part of two combined shutouts this season, while earning the SCIAC Defensive Player of the Week after her shutouts against Pomona-Pitzer and Cal Lutheran. Allen has come forward from her outside back position to register three assists on the season, including one in a win over nationally ranked NYU.
Doran has quarterbacked the team defense at center back, leading the team with 1356 minutes and tallying two assists. Her performance has been key in replacing All-SCIAC center backs
Annie McKinley and
Emma Fogg, who graduated last year.
Lewison has been an important part of the CMS attack with three goals and five assists. She was named the SCIAC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying three assists in a 2-0 week with wins over UC Santa Cruz and Chapman.
Glantz is second on the Athenas in goals scored with four, and has followed up a sophomore season when she earned United Soccer Coaches All-Region honors in 2024, with another solid campaign as an attacking midfielder. She had all four of her goals in conference play this fall. Yates, meanwhile, scored a team-high eight goals on the year, before having her season cut short by injury.
CMS will open SCIAC Tournament play tonight with a road game at Cal Lutheran. The Athenas are 12-2-3 overall and 8-2-2 in the SCIAC, and will be the No. 3 seed in the tournament, and will advance to Saturday's championship game in Claremont if it can pull off the road win over the second-seeded Regals.
Top-seeded Pomona-Pitzer will host the finals if it defeats Occidental, while the winner of the CMS-Cal Lutheran game would host the Tigers if they upset the Sagehens. Pomona-Pitzer (7), CMS (16) and Cal Lutheran (25) all place highly in the NCAA's NPI computer rankings and are in strong shape to advance into the NCAA Division III Tournament after SCIAC play.
