Wesleyan women land three on MEC All-Conference Soccer Team

BRIDGEPORT— The Mountain East Conference announced its 2025 women’s soccer all-conference teams and major award winners following a vote of the league’s head coaches.

Concord’s Tiana Campbell is the MEC Offensive Player of the Year. The sophomore from England tallied 12 goals and three assists for the Mountain Lions, with four multi-goal efforts. Campbell scored in five of Concord’s final eight games of the regular season, with the team compiling a 4-0-1 record in those contents. 

Fairmont State’s Filippa Stalhammar is the MEC Defensive Player of the Year. The graduate student from Sweden scored three goals and added three assists while playing on the Falcons’ back line. Fairmont State, which won the MEC North Division title, has allowed the fewest goals in the league this season and leads the MEC in goal differential. 

Point Park’s Rebecca Pihlgren is the MEC Freshman of the Year. The native of Sweden made an immediate impact for the Pioneers, scoring 11 goals and adding five assists in 17 games (11 starts). Pihlgren scored in five of the final seven games of the regular season, and notched a goal and an assist in the same game four times.

Fairmont State’s Kernell Borneo is the MEC Coach of the Year. The Falcons captured the MEC North Division title and enter the MEC Women’s Soccer Championship as a top seed. Fairmont State lost only one match — Oct. 5 to MEC South Division champion West Virginia State — and are on a nine-game unbeaten streak entering the postseason.
