HUDSONVILLE, Mich. -- At the conclusion of the 2023 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) women's soccer regular season, head coaches from the MIAA's nine member institutions that sponsor women's soccer voted on All-MIAA awards.

Calvin University sophomore Lucy Iverson was voted the MIAA Most Valuable Player for the second-straight year.  Iverson led the Knights to a 7-1 league finish and the top seed in the 2023 MIAA Women's Soccer Tournament.  In starting all eight conference contests, the defender held MIAA opponents to just three goals against, and also contributed 14 shots and a goal throughout the regular season.

Kalamazoo College midfielder Savera Rajendra-Nicolucci was selected as the recipient of the 2023 Senior Sportswoman of the Year Award.  The Biology major and four-year starter for the Hornets boasts a grade-point average of 3.74.  As president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Rajendra-Nicolucci initiated Compete for a Cause games for all Kalamazoo teams this year.  Kalamazoo's SAAC has donated thousands of dollars to the YWCA, West Michigan Cancer Center, and Loaves and Fishes through Compete for a Cause already this fall.  Rajendra-Nicolucci has also been involved in coordinating a local elementary Trunk Or Treat and worked with Kalamazoo area's Special Olympics through SAAC.  Additionally, she has volunteered for the First Tee Golf Organization for two years, volunteering 1.5 hours each week in the spring to teach golf lessons to fifth and sixth graders.  Rajendra-Nicolucci is also president of the Health Professions Society at Kalamazoo.  Previously, Rajendra-Nicolucci was SAAC Director of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as a sophomore and Vice President as a junior.  She is also a teaching assistant in the Biology department and is a member of and has choreographed for K-Desi, a group that represents South Asian cultures.  Rajendra-Nicolucci was awarded CSC Academic All-District in her junior year, is a member of the Chi Alpha Sigma student-athlete honor society, and has been named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll each year.

Both Calvin's Rory Pruis and Hope College's Jenna Mustapha received All-MIAA recognition for the fourth time in their careers.  Calvin's Kaitlyn Van Laare and Liz Williams, along with Trine University's Olivia Butterworth all earned a spot on the All-MIAA list for the third time.  Eight players became two-time All-MIAA honorees including Albion College's Avery Campbell, Quinn Natschke and Romee Natschke, Alma College's Lily Stephan, Calvin's Iverson, Hope's Madison Holloway, Kalamazoo's Olivia DePauli, and Trine's Olivia Argentieri.
