COMING UP: Season Complete
 
LOOKING BACK AT 2025: The Lady Owls posted their second-straight 10-win season and qualified for the playoffs for the ninth-consecutive time, ending 2025 with a 10-6-3 record. OIT played a competitive preseason slate, defeating a ranked Hope International team, playing a future NAIA Tournament team Westcliff to a draw, while dropping a road game at Embry-Riddle, who reached the NAIA national semifinals. Tech started the year 6-1-1, but three straight tough road trips dropped the squad to 7-5-2 – including one-goal losses to both Rocky Mountain and Eastern Oregon. In the end, the Lady Owls closed the regular-season on a 3-match win streak to grab the No. 6 seed in the CCC Tournament, before losing a wild, 3-2 decision to EOU in the tournament quarterfinals. OIT finished the season scoring 37 goals – with first-team All-CCC pick Jaylee Curran (2 goals, 7 assists) the top playmaker. Midfielder Chloe Cook was named to the CCC second-team, with keeper Emma Beavin earning honorable mention All-CCC honors.
 
CCC IN THE POSTSEASON: College of Idaho continued their dominance of the CCC, winning the postseason tournament in overtime against Eastern Oregon – with C of I, EOU and Southern Oregon all earning bids to the NAIA Championships. Both Southern and EOU traveled to Indiana for the Opening Round, with Eastern dropping their first-round match to Oakland City, 1-0, while SOU advanced to the second-round before losing to host Grace, 5-0. C of I won their Opening Round site and advanced to Pensacola, Fla., for the Final 16 – but dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to Cumberlands.
 
RECORD BOOK: Two players cracked the Top-10 in the OIT record book this season – as Jaylee Curran posted seven assists on the season, the No. 8 mark for a single-year. Emma Beavin moved into No. 9 in the career record book with four shutouts.
 
SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARDS: Nine players were honored as NAIA Scholar-Athletes (3.50+ cumulative GPA, at least a sophomore in academic standing, while attending OIT for at least one full term) – Aeryn Elder, Chloe Cook, Emily Johnson, Emma Glazebrook, Kaelin Ness, Makahl Chambers, Miranda Valle, Raeah Raymondo, Solei Elletson – with the nine athletes, along with Caitlyn Price and Kaylie Hashizaki, named to the CCC All-Academic Team (3.20+ cumulative GPA, at least a sophomore in academic standing, while attending OIT for at least one full term).
 
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026: The Lady Owls will have to replace a talented senior class – including midfielders Sydney Soskis (3 goals, 4 assists), Solei Elletson (2 goals) and Miranda Valley (2 goals, 1 assist), along with forward Kaelin Ness (4 goals, 1 assist). Despite the loss of the seniors, Tech will return a talent group for the 2026 – headlined by all-league defender Jaylee Curran, three-year starter Kaylie Hashizaki and two-year starter Raeah Raymondo (4 goals, 2 assists). Both keepers – Emma Beavin (0.98 GAA) and Elle Hillar (1.94 GAA) – will return, as will the Owls centerback, Shelby Geiger. Forward Ryane Mattox (2 goals, 4 assists) was dynamic in the final month of the season, as was midfielders Maegan Cooper (2 goals), Naaliyah Robinson (2 goals) and Alejandra Salcedo (1 goal, 2 assists). In all, 20 players are expected to return in August for the 2026 season.
