Kenyon collects six All-NCAC honors

CLEVELAND – The North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) announced its 2026 All-NCAC women's soccer honorees this afternoon, and the Kenyon College women's soccer team (7-2-8, 3-1-3 NCAC) had six recipients for the award.

Sophomore defender Georgia Yatrakis earned herself an All-NCAC first-team selection as well as her first ever All-NCAC honor. After a standout debut season last year, Yatrakis helped the team secure 10 clean sheets by using both her speed and physicality to shut down opposing offensive momentum. She led the team in minutes, with 1485 on the season, started and played in all 17 games, and picked up an assist against Bethany College. In addition to this honor, Yatrakis was also named to the All-NCAC Tournament team.

On the All-NCAC second-team, Emily Copeland, Hannah Schmidt, and Maia Pasco all collected the honor. Copeland, a two-time second-team selection, started and played in all 17 games this past season. As a junior forward, she led the team and was ranked fifth in conference with 15 points, contributing six goals and three assists, and played 1378 minutes. She, also, led the team and conference with 62 shots and averaged 3.65 shots a game.

Schmidt, a sophomore defender, started and played in all 17 games. While racking up 1458 minutes on the season, she was an integral part in the team's backline composure. Her efforts placed Kenyon as second in conference for goals allowed with only 10 sneaking by over 17 games. 

Pasco, a first-year forward, played 1144 minutes and started the last 13 of 17 games. She had a second-best team total of 12 points, including five goals and 2 assists. She ranked second in the conference with 59 shots and averaged 3.47 shots a game. She ranked third in conference for shots on target, contributing 27. Most notably, Pasco netted a hat trick against Oberlin College to seal off a 3-0 conference victory for the Owls.

Leading the team from the goal, senior goalkeeper Ariel Kite earned a spot on the All-NCAC third team. Kite started all 17 games, played 798 minutes, and helped contribute to 10 shutouts. She was ranked first in conference for her save percentage (83.3), with 20 total saves, and for fewest goals allowed (4).

Sharing the third-team is junior midfielder Zoe Lipp. Lipp, playing 1184 minutes, was dominant in the air, winning 50-50 balls and giving the Owls the edge in the middle of the field all season long.
