• Kitanna Richards (Central Baptist) captured AMC All-Conference for the third time in her career, while Madaleine Shylanski (Columbia) and Izzy Rogers (UHSP) were recognized for the second time.
• Hannibal-LaGrange captured its ninth Fair Play and Sportsmanship Award.
• 2025 marks the third year a Second Team All-Conference has been recognized, following the previous format of only First Team and Honorable Mentions.
• The season awards and All-Conference Teams are selected by a vote of the Conference women's soccer coaches.
• The Champions of Character Team includes one player from each school, chosen by their coach and teammates as the individual who best exemplifies the Five Core Values of the NAIA Champions of Character® Initiative — Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Servant Leadership.
• To be eligible for Academic All-Conference honors, student-athletes must be in their second semester at their AMC institution, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, and finish the year on the team.
