COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Tuesday the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announced its postseason All-Conference Teams and major award winners for women's soccer as Colorado School of Mines junior Bella Campos and redshirt senior Natalie Rouse headlined a total six selections for the Orediggers as Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year.
 
Campos continues to stack up the hardware in her third season with the Orediggers, claiming her first outright Player of the Year honor after splitting the award last fall with Reese McDermott to follow up a Freshman of the Year campaign in 2023. She becomes the second player in program history along with McDermott to repeat as Offensive Player of the Year. Campos led the RMAC in scoring the regular and added three more to her haul in Sunday's quarterfinal, setting a new single-season career high with 19 goals to go along with four assists for 42 points. Including the postseason, Campos has scored in five consecutive matches and eight of 11 matches dating back to October 5. She's on the cusp of becoming the fourth player all-time with 50 career goals and not long ago crossed the 100-point mark in her career. She's tied for the Division II lead in goals among active players and is 13th across all levels the NCAA in active goals.
 
For Rouse, her return to action this season has been nothing short of spectacular as she claims Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second time in her career and extends Mines' streak of winning the award to five consecutive seasons. With her honor this fall, she becomes the second player in program history to earn multiple Defensive Player of the Year honors along with recent Mines Hall of Famer Emily Garnier, who won three straight awards from 2015 to 2017. Dating back to 2014, Mines has won nine of the last 11 DPOTY honors. After missing nearly all of last season to injury, Rouse showed no signs of rust in her return to full-time action, twice earning RMAC Defensive Player of the Week honors and scoring four times for eights points. A starter in all 18 matches, she has clocked 1,599 minutes of action and helped anchor a defense that has posted a 0.78 goals against average and eight shutouts.
 
Rasco, the RMAC Freshman of the Year and Second Team All-RMAC selection in 2022, returns to the spotlight in her senior season as the league leader in assists. The Boise, Idaho native has scored three times this fall to go along with nine assists for 53 points. She's started all 18 matches this season for 1,359 minutes and been a catalyst for the Mines offensive, recording an assist in six of eight matches from October 5-31 and has two matches this fall with two assists and two matches with a goal and an assist.
 
Manalili, an Honorable Mention selection last fall, has turned in just as good if not a better performance this season. Second to only Rasco in the conference when it comes to assists, the senior surpassed her previous single-season career high Sunday with her seventh and eighth assists of 2025, bringing her career total to 17, 14 of which have come the last two seasons. Manalili has started all 16 matches in which she has appeared this fall for 995 minutes.
 
Guerrero earns her first career All-RMAC honors with an Honorable Mention selection in her third year of action. A starter in 15 of 17 matches, she's scored twice with one assist for five points across 1,207 minutes in the midfield. One of her goals this season was the game-winner against Colorado Christian on October 10 in a match that secured the 250th career win for head coach Kevin Fickes.
 
Jiricek also earns her first All-RMAC honors with an Honorable Mention selection in her final season. A mainstay of the Mines defensive line in 2025, she leads the team with 1,620 minutes of action this fall, playing every minute in each of the 18 matches so far this fall. Dating back to last season in a testament to her durability and reliability, Jiricek has started 39 consecutive matches and played 3,438 minutes of out of a possible 3,530 in that span. Along with Rouse, she's helped anchor a defense that has posted a 0.78 goals against average and eight shutouts.
