Lauren Riley of Keiser (Fla.) Earns NAIA Player of the Year Honors as the 2025 Women's Soccer All-Americans Are Announced
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The 2025 NAIA Women's Soccer All-Americans have been announced along with the 2025 NAIA Women's Soccer Player of the Year. The NAIA All-America Committee consists of the NAIA-Women's Soccer Coaches Association officers and seven additional women's soccer coaches.
The 2025 Women's Soccer Player of the Year is Lauren Riley of Keiser (Fla.). Riley, a senior forward from Staffordshire, England, stepped on the pitch 24 times this season, starting all of those matches, ranking fifth in the NAIA for games started in 2025. When she wasn't scoring goals for the Seahawks, she was facilitating the goal scoring, with 19 goals of her own and 14 assists. Her 14 assists rank ninth in the association. Riley was crucial in helping Keiser win matches this season, scoring six game-winning goals, which ranks her sixth nationally in the category.
Fifty-three student-athletes across 28 programs received honors this season. The Knights of Marian (Ind.) and the Crusaders of William Carey (Miss.) posted the largest number of student-athletes across the three teams, with four each, while seven programs had three All-American honorees.
The 2025 Select Sport America-NAIA Women's Soccer National Coach of the Year will be announced in January.
