With the amount of success the Xavier women's soccer team has experienced in 2025, it came as little surprise that numerous Gold Nuggets were honored in the Red River Athletic Conference's postseason awards. 

Samira Roper earned the Athletic Solutions RRAC Offensive Player of the Year honor after leading the conference with an astonishing 24 goals, the fifth most in the nation. 

Shakiana Dagher Athletic Solutions RRAC Defensive Player of the Year, after anchoring a defense that held opponents to less than a goal per game on average. 

The Gold Nuggets' Juliana Kottbauer, a junior who scored 7 goals and dished out 9 assists,  was recognized as the RRAC Newcomer of the Year. 

Roper and Dagher were repeat members of the first team, where they were joined by Kottbauer and Luisa Bella. 

Lea Cordier, Millicent Owusu, and Amelia Thompson were named to the second team, while Jayda Wyatt received honorable mention and Eduarda Queiroz was named to the Champions of Character team.
