INDIANAPOLIS - The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced the 2025 postseason honors on Tuesday morning with Lux Sands being named to the All-GLVC Second Team for the first time in her career.

Sands, a senior from Topeka, Kansas, was tied for the fourth-most goals in the GLVC this season with 10 while being eighth in the conference with 24 shots on goal. She led the Cardinals with 20 points, 43 total shots, and two game winners during the season.

The league also recognized Illinois Springfield as its GLVC Women's Soccer James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award team recipient, as well as student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. The honorees, including Jewell's Megan Giffin are now eligible to become one of their school's two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced in May.
