ST. PAUL, Minn. - Junior Ella Ristow and coach Tyson Zarnstorff headlined a myriad of honors earned by MLC women's soccer, as announced by the conference Tuesday afternoon.

Ristow was named to the first team for the second consecutive year as a defender. Ristow played a team-high 1,784 minutes, meaning she was off the field for just 16 minutes this season. She also scored three goals off of corner kicks this season.

Zarnstorff guided MLC to its first winning season since 2013, which earned him co-coach of the year honors, shared with UW-Superior coach Nick Piazza. It was also the first time since 2020 that MLC qualified for the UMAC tournament.

Senior Katie Schoeneck was named to the second team for the fourth-consecutive season. She led MLC in goals (9), assists (6) and points (24), all marks that were top-10 among UMAC players. Freshman Allison Olson was also tabbed a second-teamer for her contributions from the midfield. She scored six goals and had three assists for 15 points.

MLC had three players earn honorable mention recognition in sophomore Ava Walz, sophomore Anna Kramer and freshman Evageline Vogel. Walz played next to Ristow in the defense, playing 1,729 minutes. Kramer tied Olson's 15 points, which was second on the team. Kramer had five goals and five assists. Vogel finished her freshman campaign with two goals, one of which was in the regular-season finale against UW-Superior.

Senior Ava Beilman was MLC's representative on the all-sportsmanship team. The Knights also won the team sportsmanship award.
