KANSAS CITY – Four Drury women's soccer players earned United Soccer Coaches (USC) All-Midwest Region honors, the association announced on December 9.
 
Katy Fitzler headlines the group as the Midwest Goalkeeper of the Year and a first-team selection—the first Drury goalkeeper in program history to earn the regional award. The GLVC Goalkeeper of the Year posted a 0.57 goals-against average, 93 saves, and a .886 save percentage while recording 10 shutouts. Her 2025 season ranks among the best in program history, including top-six marks in single-season GAA and shutouts. Fitzler also moved into Drury's all-time top 10 in several categories, including saves (145), shutouts (24), and minutes played (3,953). She was additionally named to the D2CCA All-Region Second Team.
 
Elena Perez was also named to the USC first team. The midfielder recorded a career-high six goals and added two assists, including two game-winners. Perez concluded her career with 16 assists, tied for seventh most in program history. She was also a D2CCA second-team all-region selection.
 
Anna Harris earned third-team recognition, marking her first all-region honor. Harris anchored Drury's back line for a team-high 1,910 minutes and added two assists this season. She previously earned all-GLVC honors.
 
Holland Hawkins also earned third-team honors, her first all-region selection. Hawkins appeared in 20 games and led the Panthers with seven goals and four game-winning goals. She has been an all-GLVC pick in each of the past two seasons.
 
The four honorees were pivotal in Drury's GLVC Tournament Championship run and NCAA Division II National Tournament appearance as the Panthers finished the season 10-3-8 and advanced to the regional tournament's opening round.
