RICHMOND, Va. — The Coastal Athletic Association announced its women's soccer postseason awards Wednesday morning, with four William & Mary players earning five honors following the 2026 regular season.
Sophomore Mia Abbey earned All-CAA Second Team honors, while freshman Ava Magnuson, senior Lindsay Wilson and senior Molly Widderich were named to the All-CAA Third Team. Magnuson also earned a spot on the CAA All-Rookie Team.
Abbey earned her second consecutive All-CAA selection after receiving third-team and All-Rookie honors in 2025. The Elmer, N.J., native leads the Tribe with 15 points on five goals and five assists, ranking 10th in the conference in points.
The sophomore has started all 16 games this season, recording a team-high 42 shots, including 20 on goal. Abbey has scored twice from the penalty spot, including the Tribe's lone goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Hampton that helped secure W&M's second consecutive CAA Tournament berth.
Magnuson earned a pair of postseason honors following an impressive freshman campaign. The Sutton, Mass., native leads William & Mary with five goals, including three game-winners, and ranks second on the team with 11 points.
Her five goals are the most by a Tribe freshman in a single season since Ivey Crain scored nine in 2022. Magnuson is tied for third in the CAA with three game-winning goals.
Magnuson scored the game-winning goal in three consecutive victories over Drexel, Campbell and Hofstra, helping the Tribe put together a three-game winning streak during conference play. She recorded her first collegiate two-goal performance against Campbell on Oct. 2.
The freshman was named the CAA Co-Offensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week on Oct. 5 following her performance against Campbell. She has appeared in all 16 games, recording 28 shots, including 19 on goal.
Wilson earned All-CAA Third Team recognition after appearing in all 16 games during her senior campaign. The Scituate, Mass., native has recorded two goals and one assist for five points while ranking third on the team with 25 shots.
The senior midfielder has been a consistent presence for the Tribe throughout the season, contributing on both ends of the field. Wilson was also a preseason All-CAA honorable mention selection.
Widderich earned her second consecutive All-CAA Third Team selection after anchoring the William & Mary backline throughout the regular season.
The Mebane, N.C., native has appeared in all 16 games this season, helping the Tribe record three shutouts, including a 4-0 victory over Drexel, a 1-0 road win at Hofstra and a scoreless draw against CAA South Division champion UNCW.
The Tribe finished the regular season at 4-7-5 overall and 3-3-3 in CAA play, securing the No. 3 seed in the CAA South Division and advancing to the conference tournament for the second consecutive season.
