CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- The American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) announced today that University of Dubuque sophomore forward Brooke Brodzinski (Minooka, Ill./Minooka) has been selected as the league's Offensive MVP and Wartburg College junior defender Sarah Campbell (Waverly, Iowa/Waverly-Shell Rock) was named Defensive MVP. Wartburg College head coach Tiffany Pins, assistants Justin Kaiser and Scott Schara were voted American Rivers Coaching Staff of the Year. In addition to the major awards, the conference announced the 22-member All-Conference team. 

Second year, Brodzinski, is gathering her first-career All-Conference honors after being named an Honorable Mention performer a season ago. The sophomore forward becomes the first Spartan to receive Offensive MVP honors since Offensive and Defensive MVP awards were separated starting with the 2013 season. Two Spartans have been named MVP in program history Kim Monigold (2005) and Sara Fassbinder (2009). The Minooka, Ill. native led the conference in both goals scored (10) and in game-winning goals (4) to guide the Spartans to a 6-3-1 overall mark and a 4-3-1 A-R-C record. The sophomore ranked second in total shots (39) and shots on goal (19) to propel a Dubuque offense that ranked tied for third in goals scored this season.

Wartburg's Sarah Campbell becomes the second Knight to earn Defensive MVP honors since the award began in 2013. She follows in the footsteps of her older sister Zoey Campbell who won it in 2015. The junior defender was the rock of the Wartburg defense that only allowed one goal in their seven contests this spring season. The Wartburg defense was so stout, Knight goalkeepers only had to collect 16 saves on the year. Campbell is now a back-to-back All-Conference honoree.

For the second time in her tenure at Wartburg, Tiffany Pins has been voted as the A-R-C Coach of the Year after guiding the Knights to a perfect 7-0 record to claim the program's first conference title since 2015. Under Pins the Knights have now collected three conference championships, including two outright championships (2015, 2020). Pins is assisted by Justin Kaiser and Scott Schara.

The Knights, who won the conference title this spring season, saw a league-leading seven All-Conference performers, including Defensive MVP honors to Campbell. Of the seven All-Conference performers, five are earning at least their second career nod to the All-Conference squad. Gabby Corday (So., Denver, Iowa/Denver), Kate Luers (Jr., Middletown, Iowa/Danville), Hailey Osburn (Jr., Ankeny, Iowa/Ankeny), and Joy Smith (Jr., Polk City, Iowa/Homeschooled) make up the two-time award winners. All were named picked up accolades a season ago. Additionally, Osburn and Marissa Lopez earned honorable mention recognition in 2018. Third year, Kate Berglund (Jr., Polk City, Iowa/North Polk) is garnering her first career honor. 

Corday and Osburn were part of a Wartburg back line that let the league in opponent scoring average at .14, allowing just one goal in seven conference matches. In goal for the Knights' defense was Lopez. The junior keeper played 585 minutes in goal, owning a .154 goals against average, tops in the conference. The Knights had plenty of offensive skill to go around, paced by Berglund and Smith with three goals each, which tied for ninth best in the league. Both of Smith's goals were game winners for the Knights. Luers' fired 32 shots in seven matches, 11 of which were placed on goal. Additionally, she scored two goals with one going in the books as a game-winner. 

Joining Brodinski on the All-Conference team are three other Spartans, highlighted by now three-time All-Conference goalkeeper Victoria Roethler (Sr., Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Jefferson). The senior was second in the league in saves this season with 36, while also having a second-best save percentage of .878 in Dubuque's eight conference matches. Roethler only allowed five goals on the season. The 2017 Defensive MVP, Carissa Brown (Sr., Oswego, Ill./Oswego) finds herself on the All-Conference team for the third time in her career as well. Leading the defensive line, Brown and the Spartan defense held opponents to a .63 average. Sophomore midfielder Baylee Vincent (Algonquin, Ill./Harry D Jacobs) rounds out the All-Conference performers for the University of Dubuque. The Algonquin, Ill. native tallied two assists for the Spartans this season.

Abby Frey (Fr., Mesa, Ariz., Desert Ridge) of Central College earned All-Conference recognition for the Dutch. The freshman midfielder/forward sat tied for fourth in the league in goals scored this season with four. The Mesa, Ariz. native is off to a fast start in her Dutch career, leading the team in goals scored, as well as shots (19) and shots on goal (10).

The Duhawks of Loras College saw six student-athletes named to the All-Conference team. Leading the way for the Duhawks is three-time All-Conference performer and 2019 A-R-C Offensive MVP Brynn Jacobi (Sr., Roscoe, Ill./Hononegah). Additionally, Jacobi earned honorable mention recognition as a freshman. In her senior campaign, Jacobi fired 15 shots on goal, fifth-best in the conference and converted three for goals. She added two assists to total eight points on the season. 

Duhawks Abby Eriksen (So., Crystal Lake, Ill./Prairie Ridge) and Payton McDonnell (So., Arlington Heights, Ill./St. Viator) are both collecting their second All-Conference awards. Eriksen, a forward for Loras recorded four goals and three assists to rank fifth in the conference with 11 points. Her four goals tied for fourth in the league and her three assists tied for third. From the midfielder position, McDonnell had a conference high 13 assists while adding one goal for the third-best point total (15). 

Emily Perhats (Jr., Cary, Ill./Prairie Ridge) recorded 13 points on six goals and one assists, good for fourth in the conference. Of her six goals, three were game winners, tying for second in the league. The forward's six goals stood as the conference's third best. Olivia Lansing (So., Davenport, Iowa/Assumption) and Josie McDermott, Jr., Freeport, Ill./Freeport) were key cogs in the Loras back line, which produced six shutouts in eight games while allowing just three goals. 

The Luther College Norse see two All-Conference performers under first-year head coach Hollie Gray III. Led by sophomore Megan Munger (So., Prior Lake, minn./Prior Lake), who had the conference's second-best goals scored mark (8), averaging 1.143 goals per contest this season for the Norse. First-year Maggie Haller (Fr., Minneapolis, Minn./DeLasalle) had a team-leading four assists in Luther's ten goals this season. She also had a team-leading 13 shots on goal, finding the back of the net on three of those shots on goal. Munger sat second on the team with 11 shots on goal.

Rounding out the All-Conference team is Madi Strecker (Sr., Denver, Colo./Arapohoe) and Cassie Nash (So., Lincoln, Neb./Lincoln Southeast). Strecker and fellow seniors proved to be the class that turned the fortunes of the Simpson Women's Soccer program around. After only winning one conference game their freshman season, the Storm finished third this season with a conference mark of 4-2-1. She also had two assists on the year, tying for 6th in the conference. The Denver, Colo. native was the captain of a Simpson defensive line that only allowed four goals in their seven A-R-C matches, the third lowest in the league. Sophomore forward Nash was tied for the team lead in goals scored with four, which sits in a five-way tie for fourth in the league.
