ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State's Maddie Alexander, Mackenzie Kent, Brooklyn Woods, and Alex Lehnert received Missouri Valley Conference season honors as announced by the conference office on Wednesday morning.
Alexander earned Second-Team All-Conference honors for the second time in her career after a standout graduate season. The Battle Creek, Mich. native started all 21 games in goal, ranking among the top goalkeepers in the conference.
Alexander tallied 120 saves, recorded a save percentage of .870, and posted nine shutouts while allowing only 18 goals throughout the season.
On October 8, she was named MVC Women's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Week after leading the Sycamores to a 1-0-1 record in MVC play. Over two games, she made an impressive 21 saves and earned shutouts in both matches against Drake and Northern Iowa at Memorial Stadium.
In the 2-0 victory against Drake, Alexander registered a season-high 16 saves, tying for fourth in program history for single-game saves.
Kent earned Second-Team All-Conference honors for the second time in her career. The senior from Aurora, Ind. was Indiana State's top scorer this season, registering a team-high eight goals on 42 shots, including 26 on target, and finishing with 17 points.
Kent had two multi-goal games, including a key performance in the MVC tournament. She scored early, finding the back of the net just 58 seconds into the match, then added another goal in the 25th minute to help lead the Sycamores to a 2-1 victory over Southern Illinois, marking their first MVC tournament win since 2016.
Woods was named to the Third-Team All-Conference, marking the first recognition of her career following a standout junior season. The Waukee, Iowa native scored three goals, all from corner kicks, as she served as the primary corner taker for Indiana State in 2024.
She also tallied three assists and registered 31 shots during the season. In the MVC tournament quarterfinals, Woods set a career high with five shots, including three on target. The junior finished third on the team in total minutes played, logging 1,724 minutes while starting 20 matches.

She was named MVC Women's Soccer Freshman of the Week twice during the year. Her first recognition came after a key performance in Indiana State's MVC opener against Valparaiso in September, where she scored the game-winning goal in the 16th minute, leading the Sycamores to a 1-0 victory.
Lehnert received her second weekly honor in October, following a clutch performance against Evansville, where she netted two late goals in the second half to secure a 2-2 draw and keep the Sycamores undefeated at home.
