First Team:
Milla Frye (junior/midfield)
Ratingen, Germany/Immanuel-Kant Gymnasium
Milla Frye adds yet another all-conference accolade to her expansive resume in back-to-back All-CAA First Team nods for the 2026 and 2025 seasons.
Frye solidified herself as one of the most dangerous offensive players in the CAA as she leads the Hawks with 14 goals, eight more than the next-leading scorer. The stat line also lands her second on the CAA leaderboard for goals scored. Her goal total is also the most scored by a Monmouth player in the regular season since Sofia Fouces (17) in 2023. Frye also posts one game winner over this season in a 3-2 overtime win against Northeastern on Oct. 30.
"Milla's impact on the field speaks for itself," said Hawks coach
Carli Figlio. "She is a dynamic and dangerous attacking player whose ability to create scoring opportunities and finish in front of goal makes her a constant threat to opposing defenses."
One of four players to start and play in 16 of 16 games this year, Frye is listed third for total points (32) combined between her four assists in addition to her goals scored. Her career high nine-point game came against Wagner on Sept. 13, where Frye netted four of the Hawks' eight goals and dished out one assist. The stellar performance earned the German her second career CAA Offensive Player of the Week nod.
"What makes Milla particularly special is her ability to influence the game beyond scoring," Figlio added. "Her movement off the ball, ability to cover significant ground and willingness to contribute defensively makes her a complete player. She is constantly working to create space, put pressure on opponents and position herself to be dangerous in transition. Her speed, attacking instincts and relentless work rate allows her to impact the game in multiple ways."
Anna Moors (senior/defense)
Tilburg, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands/Odulphus Lyceum
After starting the season coming off the bench five games into the year after coming back from a season-ending injury last season, Moors worked her way toward a starting defensive position mid-season and reinstated herself as a crucial piece of the Hawks' defensive unit. The hard work paid off, as Moors was awarded her second career All-CAA First Team nod.
"Anna has been a critical part of our defensive line, making an immediate impact despite joining us later in the season," Figlio said. "Her ability to distribute the to distribute the ball, maintain composure under pressure and initiate attacking plays from the backfield has been instrumental in our success, particularly against top 10 nationally ranked opponents."
Moors' efforts in the backline earned the Netherlands native her second career All-CAA First Team nod on top of one of her five CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors, secured on Sept. 28 following Moors' prolific performance against Hofstra, as she netted two goals and tacked on a defensive stop in only 33 minutes played against the Pride.
Over the course of the season, Moors scored six goals and earned an assist on the offensive side of the ball while tacking on a defensive stop at the backline. She is second on Monmouth in goals while being ranked eighth in the conference in points and 13th in goals.
"Beyond her defensive responsibilities, she has also been a significant contributor to our attacking penalty corners, adding another dimension to our offensive opportunities," Figlio said. "Her ability to make an immediate impact after returning from injury speaks to her talent, resilience and importance to our team's overall performance."
Second Team:
Claire Campen (junior/forward)
Hawley, PA/Honesdale High School
Also one of four players to start and play in 16 of 16 contests,
Claire Campen was a staple leader on the Hawks' frontline in her junior campaign and earned second-team All-CAA honors.
Persevering through a lingering injury, Campen continuously showed her grit and tireless work ethic through her play. Her presence on the field not only was critical in Monmouth's attacking front line, but even more importantly, defensively she set the tone in her team's press by her toughness, positioning and communication. Her ability to win tackles, apply pressure and compete for every ball were critical in the Hawks' success and all intangibles that don't necessarily show up on the stat line.
In 567 minutes played, Campen concluded the regular season with four goals and an assist for nine total points, eighth on the team in the latter category. The Pennsylvania native scored in wins over Rider, Temple and Drexel, but her most important goal came in the 3-2 overtime win Northeastern in the last regular season game of the year, which helped secure Monmouth a share of the CAA regular season title.
Maia McCourt (sophomore/midfield)
Innishannon, Co. Cork, Ireland/Bandon Grammar School
Maia McCourt returned for her sophomore year campaign at Monmouth and found herself as a mainstay in the midfield once again and earned All-CAA second team, her first career all-conference nod.
Her exceptional speed, athleticism and work rate on the outside were crucial in the Hawks' ability to work the ball inside their offensive circle as she generated countless penalty corner opportunities. Her ability to attack quickly, take on defenders and create opportunities in transition was instrumental to her team's offensive success.
McCourt's defensive efforts also aided in her All-CAA recognition, as her ability to apply pressure and disrupt opposing attacks helped ignite the team's quick transition into counter attacking opportunities. Her ability to cover ground, recover defensively and immediately turn defensive stops into offensive threats made her an essential part of the team's success this season.
McCourt ended the regular season with a goal and an assist, reintroducing herself to the pitch by scoring in the first game of the year against Rutgers.
Charlie Bowman (junior/goalkeeper)
Hillsborough, Northern Ireland/Wallace High School
Charlie Bowman has once again been the anchor for Monmouth's defense in net and earns her first All-CAA recognition, landing on the conferences second team.
Starting in 15 of 16 contests, Bowman has amassed 71 saves on 105 shots for a .763 save percentage, her career best. The Ireland native lands fourth in the conference in both saves and is tied for third in saves per game. She also has the third lowest goals against average in the CAA, only letting in 1.62 goals per game.
Bowman garnered two games with more than 10 saves, including 12 saves on 16 shots faced against Virginia on Oct. 18, which helped her receive her second CAA Defensive Player of the Week honor. She then registered a season-high 13 save performance against Harvard on Oct. 25, keeping Monmouth in a tight game against the No. 5 nationally ranked Crimson.
Limiting every opponent to four goals or less, Bowman finishes the regular season with 10 wins, six losses and one shutout, coming against Drexel on Oct. 8, along with four combined shutouts.
All-Rookie:
Maja Schröder (freshman/defense)
Ratingen, Germany/Sportschule im Olympiapark
Schröder posted a sensational first-year campaign for the Hawks, and in addition to her two CAA Rookie of the Week honors, has earned a spot on the CAA All-Rookie team, listed among ten of the best breakout freshmen in the conference.
Schröder started in 13 of 16 games played for 584 total minutes. The Germany native started strong and dished out an assist against Rutgers in the first contest of the year and didn't slow down from there. She ended the regular season with six assists, ranking her second on Monmouth and tied for sixth in the CAA leaderboard, while netting two goals for 10 total points.
She had two career high three-point games against Temple on Sept. 11 and William and Mary on Oct. 16, the latter with a game winning goal, and both contests helped her to her two-conference Rookie of the Week honors.
Schröder also showed her versatility, playing half the year at outside back and also moving into the midfield halfway toward the year, showing her ability to help generate attack for the Hawks.
