GREENSBORO, N.C. – Kylee Berry (Kernersville, N.C.), Lily Brown (Boone, N.C.), Ashlyn Kahre (Fort Mill, S.C.), Kylie Muse (Browns Summit, N.C.), Grace Overton (Apex, N.C.), and Ainsley Yates (West End, N.C.) represented the Guilford College women's soccer team on the Collegiate Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team for the 2025 season, with Berry and Brown getting selected to advance to the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration, as announced by the organization on Tuesday.

In order to qualify for the honor in soccer, student-athletes must be at least an academic and athletic sophomore, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher in the classroom. Meanwhile, a nominee must have competed in 90% of the team's total games played, or start in 66% of the team's total games. No more than six student-athletes may be a nominee in soccer per school, per gender with the Guilford women's soccer team maxing out their Academic All-District honorees for the second-consecutive year.

Receiving recognition for the second-straight year, Berry maintained her reputation as an anchor on the Quakers' backline in her junior season while upping her offensive involvement this fall. Starting in 17 of the team's 18 matches, she led the team in minutes played, with 1,436. With a pair of freshmen in net, Berry's consistency was as important as ever and she came through as the centerpiece of a GC defense that finished seventh in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), conceding 1.28 goals per game, a figure that drops in the games she appeared in. Along the way the team piled up seven clean sheets, tied for the eighth-most in a season in program history. Attempting 39 shots, 18 of them on-frame on the other end of the pitch, Berry set career-best marks in points, goals, and assists this season, finishing second on the team netting five goals, slotting third with 13 points, and ranking fourth with three helpers. She connected on both of her penalty kicks while registering one game-winning goal with all her efforts culminating in an All-ODAC appointment, this year to the Third Team. Academically, Berry holds a 3.81 GPA as a Business Administration major, minoring in Sports Administration. For her excellence on and off the pitch, she was selected as one of 403 players nationally to advance to the national ballot and be in the running for CSC Academic All-American honors, one of just 15 players in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) to move on with a chance at the distinction. The national ballot will factor in an athlete's academic and athletic achievement, in addition to their leadership on-and-off the pitch.

A breakout star on the GC offense, Brown was also an All-ODAC Third Team honoree this fall after headlining the Quaker attack in her senior campaign. Playing in all 18 matches with a dozen starts, she accumulated 1,035 minutes of game action for Guilford this year. Despite ranking third on the club in shot attempts, Brown finished as the team's top scorer, pacing the squad in goals, with six, and points, with 17, in addition to finishing second in assists, with five, slotting within the ODAC's top-15 producers in all of those categories through the conclusion of the conference tournament. The senior made her goals count, too, with five of her tallies coming against conference competition and two of them finishing as game-winning goals. Double-majoring in Environmental Studies and Sustainable Food Systems, and tacking on a minor in Religious Studies, Brown's GPA stands at 3.97. For her excellence on and off the pitch, Brown will join Berry as one of 403 players nationally to advance to the national ballot and be in the running for CSC Academic All-American honors, one of just 15 players in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) to move on with a chance at the distinction. The national ballot will factor in an athlete's academic and athletic achievement, in addition to their leadership on-and-off the pitch.

Earning Academic All-District in her first season of eligibility, Kahre had a fantastic second season in Greensboro. An impact player from end line to end line, the native of the Palmetto State played in all 18 matches, earning 16 starts on her way to 1,406 minutes played, the fourth-most on the team. Attempting 33 shots with 12 on-target, resulting in two goals, Kahre's offensive efficiency dropped some, but she took huge strides setting up others, more than doubling her freshman assists total. Her five helpers were second-most on the team and tied for 14^th-most in the ODAC. A double-major in Guilford's Exercise and Sport Sciences and Health Sciences programs, Kahre possesses a 3.70 GPA.

Another mainstay on the GC backline, Muse enjoyed another standout fall on the right side of the Quakers defense. Finishing fifth on the team in minutes, with 1,312 this fall, playing all-18 matches with 16 starts, the junior stay-at-home defender made a huge impact. Muse made a major impact on GC finishing seven shutouts this season, allowing 1.28 goals per game, the seventh-fewest in the ODAC. Netting her first collegiate goal on a PK against Sweet Briar, she finished with six shot attempts this season, five of them being on-goal. Double-majoring in Biology and Health Sciences, Muse owns a 3.79 GPA and is a second-time Academic All-District honoree.

A leader on-and-off the pitch, Overton started in 18 of her 17 games played this fall, accumulating 1,436 minutes along the way, the second-most on the roster. A balanced midfielder, the senior made an impact on the defensive end, but also enjoyed her the best season of her career on the offensive end of the pitch. Attempting 28 shots, nearly double that of her first-three seasons combined, she had a dozen looks on frame, finding twine on four of those, ranking tied-for-third on the team. In part thanks to her balanced effort, Guilford finished eighth in the ODAC in scoring margin, at +0.78. Now a two-time CSC Academic All-District pick, Overton is a member of the GC Exercise & Sport Science program and has a 3.89 GPA.

One of the top distributors in the ODAC, Yates exploded as an offensive catalyst this fall for Guilford, ranking second on the team in points while doing most of her damage setting up her teammates. Playing in 16 matches, she reaches the playing time threshold for this distinction by making 14 starts this fall on her way to 1,083 minutes played. The junior dished out eight assists, a total that placed her in a tie for seventh in the program record books and was ranked fourth in the ODAC and 70^th in Division-III women's soccer through the conclusion of conference tournaments. However, on a per-game basis, Yates' production rises as her average of 0.5 helpers per match was good for third in the league and 30^th in the nation this season. When she did score herself, Yates made her goals count with three of her four tallies finishing as game-winners, a total that ranks fifth in the league and 116^th in the nation. Including her time at conference rival, Lynchburg, Yates has a 3.87 GPA and is studying Exercise & Sport Sciences at Guilford.
