Jackson, Mich. - Coming off the Marian women's soccer program's Crossroads League Regular Season Championship, the league released its All-Crossroads League honors on Thursday morning. Marian was well represented on the CL Teams, with Katie Koger earning the CL Player of the Year, while Justin Sullivan was named the CL Coach of the Year.

The Knights dominated during the regular season, carrying a record of 16-0-1 into the CL Tournament, while Marian went 8-0-1 and was undefeated during the league slate. The Knights finished as the league's CL Tournament runner-up, falling in a penalty shootout against the three-seed Grace on Wednesday night. 

Katie Koger highlighted the Marian student-athletes on the All-Crossroads League Teams, as she was named both a First Team honoree and the CL Player of the Year. Koger led the Knights in scoring in CL matches with nine, while assisting on three other goals. The senior scored three game-winning goals in CL play, and for the season, is the team's leader in shots and goals. Koger has 14 total goals and five assists entering the NAIA Tournament. 

Joining Koger on the Crossroads League First Team is Marian Corro Celma, Taylor Wert, and Kiley Jones. Corro Celma helped anchor Marian's defense from the midfield throughout the season, as the Knights allowed just one goal in their nine-match Crossroads League season. The midfielder scored two goals during the season and had three assists, netting two game-winners in non-conference play. Wert had a breakout season in her first year at Marian, entering the NAIA Tournament as the Knights' third-leading goal scorer. Wert scored all seven of her goals this season in Crossroads League play, securing the game-winning goal in two contests. Wert also has two assists in CL play, and has logged 24 shot attempts. 

Like Corro Celma, Kiley Jones played a large role in Marian's eight Crossroads League shutouts, as the defender earned All-Crossroads League First Team honors for the first time. Jones scored the game-winning goal in Marian's regular season meeting with Grace and assisted on three goals throughout league play. 

In addition to the Knights' four First Team All-Crossroads League honors, Marian earned a pair of Honorable Mention Team spots, with Sienna Mullen and Erin Kelly taking the honors. Mullen scored one goal and assisted on another during the league season, totaling four goals and two assists on the season. Kelly played a pivotal role on Marian's defensive line, and picked up one assist in addition to her work in the team's season-total 13 shutouts. 

Completing Marian's honors is head coach Justin Sullivan, who was named as the Crossroads League Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. Sullivan guided Marian to an unbeaten record in their non-conference play, while going an undefeated 8-0-1 in Crossroads League play. The Knights won the Crossroads League Regular Season Championship for the first time since 2022, and are ranked second in the NAIA this season.
