Caroline McConnell earned a spot on the Second Team for the 2024-25 season, per the All-Conference Scholar-Athlete team release from The Valley on Monday.
Perakis earns her second All-MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team selection of her career. Perakis is the 13th multi-time All-MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team selection in program history. This is the third All-MVC Scholar-Athlete selection of her career after earning First Team honors in 2023 and Second Team honors in 2024.
Cosler and Pacocha earn their first All-MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team selections of their career. Cosler earns her first All-MVC Scholar-Athlete honor of her career, while Pacocha earns her second after she was an honorable mention in 2024.
McConnell earns her first All-MVC Scholar Athlete selection as a Brave. This is her second All-Conference academic award as she was on the Academic All-Big Ten team in the Spring of 2024 while at Michigan State.
Cosler, Pacocha and Perakis earn Bradley's 40th, 41st and 42nd All-MVC First Team selections, the most by a women's golf program in Missouri Valley Conference history.

Cosler brought home medalist honors at the Bradley Coyote Creek Classic in October 2024 and at the MVC Championship in April 2025, becoming the first golfer to win multiple tournaments in a season since Taylor Ledwein in 2020-21. Cosler is currently golfing at the NCAA Columbus Regional in Columbus, Ohio, where the third and final round is underway.
