2025 MPSF Offensive Player of the Year
KARLY REDMAN · R-JUNIOR · FORWARD · UC DAVIS
 
UC Davis redshirt-junior forward Karly Redman (La Verne, CA.) shared the MPSF regular season lead with eight goals and had the fourth-most total points in the conference (16). She scored two goals in the season-opening win over Ball State. Redman delivered the overtime game-winning goal, her only shot through a two-game road week, as the Aggies came back to win 2-1 at St. Louis (Oct. 5). She also recorded the only Aggie goal against RPI No. 20 California (Oct. 24). Redman, an All-MPSF selection and two-time MPSF Offensive Player of the Week, was the only Aggie to earn multiple weekly awards.
 
 
2025 MPSF Defensive Player of the Year
IRIS BEKKER · SENIOR · DEFENDER · DELAWARE
 
Delaware senior defender Iris Bekker (Zuidlaren, Netherlands) played in all but five minutes of the regular season. She shares MPSF season-highs in points (20) and goals (8). Against RPI No. 20 California (Aug. 31), Bekker collected an MPSF season-high five points (2 goals, 1 assist). She earned the MPSF’s first two defensive player of the week awards---the first following 76 minutes of action vs. No. 18 Penn State and the second following a back line effort which allowed only two shots on goal through games vs. Kent State and Bucknell. Bekker, a member of the MPSF’s inaugural all-conference team, is also one of just two players in the conference to record multiple game-winning goals.
 

2025 MPSF Freshman of the Year
ADDY COLLINGWOOD · FRESHMAN · GOALKEEPER · UC DAVIS

UC Davis freshman goalkeeper Addy Collingwood (Collegeville, PA) started all 15 games and played in all but 30 minutes through the regular season. Collingwood twice recorded career-high-tying eight saves--at current RPI No. 17 Miami (OH) in her collegiate debut (Aug. 29) and at RPI No. 22 Stanford in the regular season finale (Oct. 26). She became the only Aggie to be named MPSF Defensive Player of the Week following her efforts at Stanford. Her 2.21 goals-against average ranks in the top-50 nationally.
 
 
2025 MPSF Coach of the Year
AUSTIN PILE · FOURTH YEAR · HEAD COACH · UC DAVIS
 
UC Davis fourth-year Head Coach Austin Pile guided the Aggies to six wins in the regular season, while the squad also battled several RPI Top-30 programs. UC Davis placed five student-athletes on the MPSF’s inaugural all-conference team, while Karly Redman earned the MPSF Offensive Player of the Year award and Addy Collingwood was named freshman of the year. Further, Pile was instrumental in helping structure the MPSF’s first-ever field hockey season, which gave the conference a record-setting 16th sport, as well as serving as the host for the inaugural MPSF Championship game.
