EDISON, NJ – Quinnipiac women's soccer has captured four All-MAAC major awards, as revealed by the league office on Monday, Oct. 30.
Head Coach Dave Clarke won the MAAC Coach of the Year award. The Bobcats finished the regular season with a record of 9-0-1 and earned the program's second straight regular season title (first outright). Quinnipiac has gone unbeaten over its last 15 matches vs. MAAC programs.
Senior forward Courtney Chochol took home the MAAC Golden Boot, finishing the regular season with 23 points (seven goals and nine assists). Chochol finishes the regular season leading the league in points (23) and assists (9). She's recorded at least one point in 10 of QU's 15 games this season.
The four-time Defensive Player of the Week, Sofia Lospinoso, earned the MAAC Golden Glove award for the league's top goalkeeper. Lospinoso was tied for second in the MAAC with six shutouts and had a goal against average of 1.05. She surrendered just six goals over 10 MAAC starts in 2023.
There was a three-way tie for MAAC Defensive Player of the Year where three Bobcats took home those honors. Graduate students Markela Bejleri, Olivia Scott, and Kayla Mingachos were named as the award winners after helping Quinnipiac to a 9-0-1 conference record.
