PRINCETON, N.J — With the inaugural Ivy League Women’s Soccer Tournament set to begin this weekend, the Ivy League has announced the 2023 All-Ivy Teams and Major Award winners.

Brittany Raphino of Brown captured her third-straight Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year award. Raphino, who was unanimously voted Offensive Player of the Year, helped lead Brown to an undefeated Ivy League slate and finished the regular season as the Ivy League’s top scorer with 19 points and eight goals in seven Ivy League games. Overall, Raphino has 11 goals and six assists for 28 total points.

Harvard’s Jade Rose won her second-consecutive Defensive Player of the Year award. She played in five-of-seven Ivy League games in 2023, helping lead Harvard to three clean sheets and a 4-0-1 record. Rose also tallied a goal and two assists, playing 432 of a possible 450 minutes in five games.

The Rookie of the Year also hails from Harvard as this year’s award goes to Ólöf Kristinsdóttir. The Reykjavik, Iceland native netted seven goals in her first collegiate season, two of which came in Ivy League contests. Her best scoring game of the season came at St. John’s as she recorded her first-career multi-goal game.

After managing Brown to an undefeated conference season, an 11-1-2 overall record, and the 2023 Ivy League regular season title, Kia McNeill was named the 2023 Coach of the Year. Brown enters the weekend with the No. 14 ranking in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and the number five ranking in the RPI.

The All-Ivy First Team consists of players from five of the eight Ivy League schools with Harvard and Princeton each placing three players on the First Team. Brown and Columbia had two players apiece and Penn had the final representative. Joining Raphino on the All-Ivy First Team is Brown’s Jessica Hinton. Aside from Rose, who was a unanimous selection to the All-Ivy First Team, Harvard’s other members were Josefine Hasbo, another unanimous choice, and Hannah Bebar. Princeton’s trio included the last unanimous selection in Pietra Tordin, as well as Madison Curry and Aria Nagai. Columbia was represented by Paige Nurkin and Kat Jordan, and Penn’s Ginger Fontenot rounded out the All-Ivy First Team.

The All-Ivy Second Team featured a relatively balanced representation of Ivy League schools, with seven-of-eight having players on the team.

Additionally, one Ivy League women’s soccer student-athlete from each institution was recognized for their commitment in the classroom and on the pitch as members of the 2023 Ivy League Women’s Soccer Academic All-Ivy team. Brown’s Evelyn Calhoon, Columbia’s Paige Nurkin, Cornell's Madison Leroy, Dartmouth’s Grace Faulkner, Harvard’s Ava Lung, Penn's Maya Leschly, Princeton’s Jen Estes and Yale’s Ellery Winkler were each named to the team.

The inaugural Ivy League Women’s Soccer Tournament begins on Friday with a pair of semifinal games at Stevenson-Pincince Field.
