Ploeg appears on the All-American team for the second time after being named a second-team All-American in 2015. The sophomore shared the team lead in goals (12), assists (7) and points (31) despite missing four games this season.

Perez received her third-straight All-American honors after being named honorable mention in 2014 and first team in 2015. The senior played in all 20 games for Lindsey Wilson this season, sharing the team high in goals, assists and points.

Kurtz-Martinez's honorable mention selection comes in her first season as a Blue Raider. The Asuncion, Paraguay native recorded four goals and four assists this year and was tied for the fourth-most points on the team with 12.

Northwestern Ohio's Klara Cahynova was named the 2016 NAIA Women's Soccer National Player of the Year, becoming the first Racer to garner Player of the Year honors.
