The Northwest Missouri State University women's soccer team is represented by three players in Ximena Arnau, Emma Cook and Julia Coacher on this year's All-MIAA squad.
 
Senior Ximena Arnau locked in second-team all-MIAA as a midfielder to become a four-time all-league selection for the Bearcats. Arnau is the fourth Bearcat women's soccer player to be chosen as a four-time all-MIAA player joining Kaylie Rock, Jacque Dedovesh and Lily Ellis in that elite company. Arnau was a first-team all-MIAA pick in 2024 and a three-time second-team all-league honoree in 2023, 2025 and 2026. Arnau tallied three goals and an assist this season. She had one game-winning goal and was 1-for-1 on penalty kicks.
 
Junior Emma Cook collected her second-straight all-MIAA third-team selection as a defender. Cook was a part of a Bearcat defense that allowed 16 goals in 12 MIAA matches.
 
Junior Julia Coacher posted third-team all-MIAA status as a forward. Coacher tied for seventh in the league in goals scored (4) in MIAA matches only. She tied for ninth in the league in points scored (10) in league matches only.
 
Head coach Marc Gordon has overseen 41 all-MIAA selections since he took over the program in 2018.
 
The Bearcats are the No. 7 seed and will take on No. 2 seed Central Missouri in the 2026 MIAA Tournament quarterfinal Sunday at 1 p.m. in Warresnburg, Mo.
