NEW YORK --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) York College received three honors Friday, as the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) released its 2025 Women's Soccer All-Star awards. Stephanie Gonzalez claimed CUNYAC Rookie of the Year and was named to the First Team All-Conference. Four-year starter Alisha Adams capped off her York tenure with a Sportsmanship Team distinction.

Gonzalez exploded onto the scene, notching 10 goals and one assist across 13 matches, and paced the squad with 53 shots and 32 shots on goal. The freshman sensation led the Cardinals to three victories, including scoring a program-record seven goals in a 7-5 triumph at Keystone College (Sept. 24). Her performances generated buzz in conference circles, collecting four CUNYAC weekly laurels. Overall, the Brooklyn native tops the charts in goals, points, and shots on target. Historically, Gonzalez joins Gisselle Flores-Barajas (2019) as the program's only CUNYAC Rookie of the Year selections, and this All-Conference nod is the first since Taylor Bellmon in 2021.

A constant in the Cardinal lineup, Adams appeared in 12 contests and 971 minutes this campaign. On the field, she recorded an assist to Gonzalez in the 7-5 Keystone result, taking her career total to nine, placing second in program history. With this distinction, York women's soccer has now produced four consecutive Sportsmanship Team members.
