Bodner netted 45 goals, the seventh-most in a season in program history. Bodner is the fourth player in program history to be named IWLCA first team all-region.
The Haverford, Pennsylvania native was the third-straight Marquette student-athlete to be named BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year, joining Leigh Steiner (2024) and Lydia Foust (2023).
Bireley was named to the second team after being top 15 in the nation with 63 goals on the season, six off the program record she set during the 2024 season. The senior was top 10 nationally in goals per game, averaging 3.94 a contest.
