KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A trio of Stanford players have been named United Soccer Coaches All-Americans, as seniors Jasmine Aikey and Elise Evans were lauded alongside sophomore Charlotte Kohler.
Aikey and Evans earned spots on the first team, while Kohler landed on the third team. Aikey was previously named All-America first team in 2023, while Evans was selected third team that season.
Aikey, the 2025 TopDrawerSoccer Player of the Year, leads the team in total points with 51, including a team-high 20 goals (six game-winners) and 11 assists. The 20 goals, fourth-most nationally this season, rank tied for fifth in a single season in program history, while her 51 points are fifth in Stanford history and one short of the national leader this season. Aikey has contributed 42 career goals to rank tied for ninth in Stanford history, while her 113 points rank 10th. In addition to Player of the Year, Aikey has been named All-ACC first team, ACC Championship MVP and ACC All-Tournament, and is a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist. The native of Palo Alto, Calif. has been named ACC Offensive Player of the Week twice this season, has a goal in 15 of the 23 contests this year, and has contributed at least a point in 19 of the 23 matches. Aikey owns five multi-goal matches this season, including posting a brace in two of Stanford’s four NCAA Tournament matches entering the College Cup.
Evans, a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, has been named ACC Defensive Player of the Year, All-ACC first team and ACC All-Tournament. A team captain and the team leader in minutes played with 1,976 at center back, Evans has accumulated seven goals, including two game-winners, and six assists for 20 points. She recorded her first career multi-goal match on November 21 vs. Alabama in the NCAA Tournament second round, and managed a pair of assists in Stanford’s 7-0 victory vs. San Francisco to open the season. Evans has been named ACC Defensive Player of the Week and has helped the Cardinal limit opponents to 23 goals (1.00 per game) on 186 total shots - including just 75 on frame. Stanford has managed eight shutouts this year with Evans directing the back line.
Turning in a spectacular sophomore season, Kohler was named All-ACC second team. She has managed at least a point in 19 of the 23 matches this season, including each of the last 13, and has contributed five game-winners - including the game-winner to defeat No. 1 Virginia and No. 7 Florida State. Kohler converted the clinching PK in Stanford's 5-4 shootout victory over No. 2 Notre Dame to win the ACC Tournament title on November 9. The national leader in assists with 17, Kohler has managed three assists in a match twice this year. The native of Woodside, Calif. ranks third on the team in points with 41 (12 goals and 17 assists).
Among the 61 women's soccer players receiving All-American recognition, eight student-athletes are earning the second All-America honors of their careers: Aikey and Evans; TCU senior midfielder Seven Castain; Notre Dame sophomore forward Izzy Engle; James Madison sophomore forward Ginny Lackey; Penn State GR-5 forward Kaitlyn MacBean; Colorado senior goalkeeper Jordan Nytes and Alabama senior forward Gianna Paul.
Xavier junior defender Natalie Bain, Texas Tech senior defender Macy Blackburn, Florida State junior forward Jordynn Dudley, Virginia GR-5 midfielder Lia Godfrey and Connecticut senior forward Chioma Okafor are earning All-America honors for the third time in their careers.
This year’s All-Americans will be recognized for their accomplishments at the United Soccer Coaches All-America Ceremony & Reception on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pa., in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
The Cardinal will continue the pursuit of a fourth national title when Stanford meets No. 2 seed and 11th-ranked Duke on Friday at 5:45 p.m. PT in a semifinal match from the 2025 NCAA Women's College Cup in Kansas City, Mo.
