EWING, N.J. - A program-best six members of the TCNJ women's soccer team earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors, as announced by the organization this afternoon. Abby Najdzinowicz is now a two-time honoree, while Ari Keily, Caroline Freer, Maggie Murphy, Ellen Williams and Lexi Caruso were all recognized for the first time.
 
The 2025 Academic All-District® Women's Soccer Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
 
Najdzinowicz is the Lions' lone two-time honoree after earning a second consecutive CSC Academic All-District selection. A kinesiology & health sciences major with a 3.65 cumulative GPA, the senior finished third on the team with four goals paired with two assists for a career-best 10 points in 2025 en route to her second All-NJAC Honorable Mention nod.
 
Keily made the most of her lone season in Ewing, pairing her All-NJAC Honorable Mention nod with the first CSC Academic All-District selection of her career. A finance major with a 3.55 GPA, the senior scored one goal and finished second on the team with five assists as one of just three players to start in all 20 contests. Keily was particularly effective to end the regular season, tallying her goal and all but one of her assists in TCNJ's final six games to help the Lions secure the No. 3 seed in the NJAC Tournament.
 
Freer holds a cumulative GPA of 3.87 as a finance major while starting 14 games in a defensive midfield role for the Lions en route to earning a spot on the All-NJAC Second Team. The junior was the first line of defense for a TCNJ backline that allowed just 1.2 goals per game in 2025, adding one goal and the first two assists of her collegiate career on the offensive end.
 
Murphy makes her debut on the Academic All-District list in her first eligible season. The sophomore served as one of the top offensive threats in the conference while holding a 3.87 GPA as a mechanical engineering major, finishing third on the team in both goals (4) and assists (4) while pacing the Lions in shots (56) and shots on goal (21).
 
Williams was a mainstay between the posts for TCNJ in 2025, starting all 20 games in goal in her sophomore season. A kinesiology & health sciences major with a 3.79 cumulative GPA, Williams shared the lead atop the NJAC in shutouts (8) while finishing with a 1.19 goals against average. The sophomore's 71 saves made in 2025 are tied for the fourth-most in a single season in program history.
 
Caruso rounds out TCNJ's Academic All-District honorees with the first selection of her career. A criminology major with a 3.70 GPA, the sophomore scored the first three goals of her collegiate career – including scores in back-to-back games against 11th-ranked Rowan in the Lions' regular season finale as well as against Stockton in the NJAC Quarterfinals – in 2025.
