OXFORD, Ohio- The River States Conference is pleased to announce the selections for the 2025 River States Conference Women's Soccer All-Conference Teams.
Each team consists of two goalkeepers, four defenders, four midfielders, and four forwards. Ties are all placed on the same team, and remove a spot from the following team. The teams are selected via a vote of conference head coaches. Individual awards will be announced by the conference office on Friday.

Brescia and IU East followed with six total selections, while IU Kokomo had the second most players on the first team at three.

Additionally, the RSC is also proud to announce the athletes recognized as their program's Champion of Character. Each team in each River States Conference sponsored sport is asked to nominate one athlete as their Champion of Character.
