New York, NY - The 2026 CUNY Athletic Conference women's soccer All-Conference awards and teams were announced on Wednesday morning.
Brooklyn College's Krista Strader was named Rookie of the Year while CCNY's bench boss Yanique Newman garnered Coach of the Year accolades. Lehman's Stephanie Roldan garnered the Sportsmanship Award.
For Soler, it marks her first All-Conference selection while Lopez, Mack, and Milona are now two-time all-league selections.
Soler established herself as one of CUNYAC's most dynamic offensive players, combining elite playmaking ability with consistent scoring opportunities throughout the 2026 season. The Santa Clarita, CA native is the fifth straight Bloodhound to earn Player of the Year honors, joining Katie Healy (2022), Nora O'Connor (2023), Olivia Boucher (2024), and
Natalie Mack (2025). Soler, a two-time CUNYAC Player of the Week, recorded four goals and a conference-high 17 assists for 25 points. She leads all of Division III in assists per game (1.21) and total assists (17). Soler set the new program mark for assists in a match, distributing seven against Lehman on October 3, and remains the most in a single game in Division I, II, or III this season.
Mack has been one of the league's most efficient and productive offensive players during the 2026 campaign, establishing herself as a leading goal-scoring threat. The Folsom, CA, native led the conference in goals per game and total goals, averaging 1.09 and scoring 12, respectively. She finished second in the circuit in total points at 27 and ranked among the top-15 in the nation in points per game at 2.45. This season, she produced a pair of hat-tricks as the 2025 Player of the Year heads into Saturday's championship contest with 17 career scores.
Lopez, a two-time CUNYAC All-Conference selection, finished tied for fourth in the conference with nine goals, while her five assists tied for sixth-best in the league this season. The Saint Paul, MN native had a league-best three-game-winning-goals season.
Milona has been one of John Jay's most consistent and dependable players throughout the 2026 season, providing stability and a significant presence in the Bloodhounds' lineup. The Chelmsford, MA native started 15 matches this season, tallying two goals and four points. As part of the backline that yielded a conference-low twenty goals on the season, Milona helped the Bloodhounds record six shutouts.
Gut earned her first league accolade, establishing herself as one of CUNYAC's premier keepers. The Zurich, Switzerland, native allowed just 15 goals during the season to lead the league while posting a minuscule 1.54 goals-against average. Making 41 stops, her .732 save percentage was best among the league's five keepers.
The No. 2 Bloodhounds will square off against the top-seeded CCNY on Saturday, November 7, at 1:30 p.m. with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
