ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Following its 17th St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) regular-season championship, the Webster University women's soccer team collected three major individual awards and eight All-Conference selections, the league announced Tuesday.
Junior midfielder Mia Smith was named the SLIAC Offensive Player of the Year, senior defender Jasmine Hubbard earned Defensive Player of the Year honors, and head coach Luigi Scire was selected as the conference's Coach of the Year.
The Gorloks placed four players on the All-Conference First Team, two on the Second Team and two on the Third Team after finishing the regular season with an 11-2-1 overall record and an unbeaten 7-0-1 mark in conference play.
Luigi Scire – SLIAC Coach of the Year
Scire guided the Gorloks to their 17th SLIAC regular-season championship, securing the top seed in the conference tournament with a 7-0-1 league record. Webster completed its unbeaten conference campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Westminster College in the regular-season finale, overcoming a second-half deficit to claim the title.
Under Scire's leadership, the Gorloks allowed just four goals in eight conference matches while recording four shutouts. The team also featured eight All-Conference selections, including the league's Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year.
This marks the ninth time in his coaching career that Scire has earned SLIAC Coach of the Year honors.
Scire also reached a historic milestone during the season, earning his 400th career victory in Webster's 7-0 win over Lyon College on October 1.
Mia Smith – SLIAC Offensive Player of the Year / First Team All-SLIAC
Smith, a junior midfielder from Union, Missouri, put together an outstanding offensive campaign, recording 10 goals and 11 assists for 31 points in eight conference matches. She placed 23 of her 29 shots on goal during league play.
Smith finished the regular season with 12 goals and 13 assists for 37 points. She played a pivotal role in Webster's regular-season championship victory over Westminster, assisting Malaya Blakely's game-tying goal in the 66th minute.
Smith becomes the 10th Gorlok in program history to earn SLIAC Offensive Player of the Year honors and the first since Grace Rodgers in 2023. A former SLIAC Freshman of the Year, Smith also earned her third consecutive First Team All-Conference selection.
Jasmine Hubbard – SLIAC Defensive Player of the Year / First Team All-SLIAC
Hubbard, a senior defender from Louisville, Kentucky, anchored a Gorlok defensive unit that surrendered just four goals across eight conference matches while recording four shutouts.
A consistent presence along Webster's back line, Hubbard helped the Gorloks complete an unbeaten conference season and capture the program's 17th regular-season championship. Her defensive contributions were particularly important in the regular-season finale against Westminster, as the Gorloks protected a one-goal advantage over the closing minutes to secure the title.
Hubbard becomes the ninth player in program history to earn SLIAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. The recognition adds to her previous All-Conference selections, including First Team honors in 2024 and Third Team recognition in 2025.

Blakely delivered one of the season's biggest goals in Webster's regular-season finale against Westminster. Trailing 1-0 in the second half, she received a pass from Smith, split two defenders and found the back of the net in the 66th minute to level the match. The Gorloks went on to earn a 2-1 victory, securing the conference championship.
The honor marks Blakely's second consecutive First Team selection and third career All-Conference recognition. She previously earned SLIAC Newcomer of the Year honors as a freshman in 2023.
Leia Adkins – First Team All-SLIAC
Adkins, a senior goalkeeper from Owasso, Oklahoma, earned First Team All-Conference honors after helping lead one of the conference's top defensive units.

Elfrink, a junior forward from Columbia, Missouri, provided another consistent offensive threat for Webster, finishing the regular season with nine goals and four assists for 22 points.
She recorded 39 shots, including 20 on goal, and played an important role in the Gorloks' offensive success throughout conference play. Among her notable performances was a three-goal, two-assist outing in Webster's 7-0 conference victory over Lyon College.
Elfrink's nine goals ranked third on the team, while her 22 points also placed her among Webster's top offensive contributors.
Cappozzo, a senior midfielder from St. Louis, Missouri, earned Second Team All-Conference recognition after playing an important role in Webster's midfield throughout the regular season.
A consistent presence in the Gorloks' lineup, Cappozzo contributed on both ends of the field and helped create one of the most important scoring opportunities of Webster's season. In the regular-season finale against Westminster, she fired a shot on goal in the 72nd minute that the goalkeeper was unable to secure. Sofia Bosnos capitalized on the rebound, scoring the eventual game-winning goal in Webster's 2-1 victory.
The selection marks Cappozzo's third consecutive All-Conference honor after earning Third Team recognition in both 2024 and 2025.
