TURLOCK, Calif.--- Six Stan State women's soccer student-athletes earned All-CCAA honors, led by senior Aliah Avila, who was named the 2026 CCAA Midfielder of the Year. Avila was joined by Zara Mujica, Olivia Maragos, Karissa Franco, Kayla Perez and Mandy Thao as All-CCAA honorees.

This marks the second time since 2022 that Stan State has had six All-CCAA honorees. The program record is eight honorees, set in 2013 and matched in 2014.

The Madera, Calif., native started all 17 matches she played in 2026 and finished the season with five goals, three assists and 13 points. She led the Warriors with 49 shots and 31 shots on goal while recording two game-winning goals. Avila scored game-winning goals against Cal State LA and San Francisco State and scored in Stan State's 4-1 victory at Fresno Pacific to close the regular season. Her seven assists in 2025 are tied for ninth in Stan State's single-season record book. She finished her career ranked fourth in goals with 22, fifth in assists with 20, fifth in points with 65 and second in game-winning goals with 13. Avila was also named the FloCollege/CCAA Offensive Player of the Week for Sept. 21-27.

Mujica started all 18 matches in goal in 2026 and recorded a 0.85 goals-against average, a .835 save percentage, 76 saves and seven shutouts.
