Five Cardinals earn All-OAC accolades

WESTERVILLE – On Friday morning, five members of the Otterbein University women's soccer team were named to All-OAC teams.

Freshman Kelayna Patrick capped off an illustrious campaign by being named to the First Team. Starting as a center back, Patrick was phenomenal all season long, leading a back line that allowed just four goals in regular season conference play.

The Cardinals had a trio of Second Team honorees in Isabella Neal, Alexis Pickerel and Olivia Brooks.

Neal was stellar in goal all season long, making 89 saves and allowing just 18 goals. The senior stepped up in conference action, leading the team to a 6-1-1 OAC record with five clean sheets and four goals allowed. Pickerel was tremendous as a defensive midfielder for the Cardinals this season, tallying one goal and one assist – both coming in conference play. Brooks was Otterbein's leading scorer this season, finishing with seven goals and dishing out a pair of assists, including two game-winning goals.

Keaton Aspacher rounded out the selections with a Third Team honor. A crucial part of a lock down defense in front of Neal, Aspacher earned her second straight All-OAC accolade after being a Third Team honoree in 2025.

The Otterbein women's soccer team concluded its season with a 9-8-1 overall record, finishing third in the OAC and earning a ninth consecutive trip to the OAC Semifinals.
