INDIANAPOLIS (October 31, 2025) – The Horizon League announced our 2025 #HLWSOC awards on Friday. All-League awards were voted on by the League’s head coaches.

Milwaukee midfielder Mallory McGuire was named the Horizon League Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year while teammate Isabella Hollenbach collected Goalkeeper of the Year and fellow Panther Ellie Rebmann earned Defensive Player of the Year. Youngstown State’s Kamryn Rosa was voted Freshman of the Year and IU Indy’s Emma Frey won the League’s Sportsmanship Award. Milwaukee’s Kevin Boyd was tabbed Coach of the Year.

Dig Deeper:

McGuire totaled 17 points in #HLWSOC play with six goals and five assists, leading the Panthers to another regular season crown.
Hollenbach allowed just seven goals in League play with five shutouts, 37 saves and a .841 save percentage.
Rebmann anchored a MKE defense that allowed seven goals in 10 League matches, adding one goal and four assists.
Rosa scored six goals for the Penguins in her first season at Youngstown State and she is the first YSU player to win Freshman of the Year honors.
