NORTH ATTLEBORO, Massachusetts - The Northeast 10 Conference announced its 2026 All-Conference teams for women's soccer on Wednesday, November 4, with five members of the American International College women's soccer squad earning selections.

Liz Braz and Elena Nunez earned Third-Team spots in the midfield, while Karoline Eriksen, Izzy Eaton, and Hedda Haukland earned All-Rookie honors.

Braz was AIC's top scorer, netting five goals and two assists for 12 points. Two of her goals went for game winners, as she put home difference-makers against Caldwell University and Daemen University.

Nunez, AIC's captain, was the team's defensive leader at defensive center midfielder, but also its top penalty taker, scoring three of her four goals from the spot. Two tallies, against Adelphi University and Southern New Hampshire University, were game winners.

Eriksen put together a strong first season at the NCAA level up front, starting the final six games of the season and playing 15 total. Her tally against Pace was the only one in a game AIC had to win to reach the NE10 Championship Tournament. 

Eaton likewise excelled, starting seven of her first nine games before an injury limited her down the stretch, though she returned for the final regular season game and AIC's NE10 First Round matchup. She scored her first NCAA goal in her debut against Caldwell.

Haukland put together one of the most incredible seasons in AIC soccer history as a first-year. Starting 10 of her 15 appearances, she carried the Yellow Jackets; her .901 save percentage and 91 total saves in league play were both the best in the NE10, as was her 10.1 saves per game. The 91 stops were the most in conference play in a season since Paige Davis made 97 for the University of New Haven in 2021 in a 12-game season, and the 10.1 saves per game was the most by any NE10 keeper who made at least three appearances in a season since at least 2009, the earliest available data.

She saved her best for the stretch run as well, with 63 saves in the final four games of the regular season, including a 19-save shutout of Pace to bring AIC to the NE10 Tournament, a performance that earned her NE10 Goalkeeper of the Week for the second time during the campaign and her third NE10 Rookie of the Week Award as well as a rare honor for a keeper, NE10 Defensive Player of the Week.
