Cotton and Enyeart Earn All-CCAC Honors

 

CHICAGO — A pair of Titans were honored on Wednesday, as All-CCAC standouts. Rylee Cotton and Olivia Enyeart were named Second Team All-CCAC selections, following impressive 2025 campaigns.

 

2025 saw the IU South Bend Women’s Soccer squad take the next step forward. The Titans set program records for wins in a season, conference wins, and overall winning percentage. 

 

Rylee Cotton’s junior campaign stands out in more ways than one. A native of Hobart, Indiana, she took command of the defensive third in goal for the Titans. Cotton was earlier honored as CCAC Defensive Player of the Week and NAIA National Defensive Player of the Week during the final week of the regular season. 

 

Over the course of the season she logged 1,350:00 minutes in goal, allowing 23 goals for a goals-against average of 1.53. She accumulated 114 saves and posted a save percentage of .832, which both ranked in the top five in the conference. Cotton also added four shutouts.

 

Highlights:

Grabbed double-digit saves five times, including a 17-save performance against St. Ambrose.

On 10/27 at Calumet (IN), she helped the Titans to a 3-0 victory, tossing a shutout, while making eight saves.

In the season-ending stretch she delivered two clean sheets and 24 saves across three matches. 

 

Sophomore midfielder Olivia Enyeart of St. John, Indiana, earned Second Team All-CCAC recognition after a stellar second year. In 18 games (18 starts) she notched four goals and three assists for 11 points. She took 56 shots, with 35 on-goal (SOG% .625), and contributed a game-winner.

 

Game-by-game highlights include:

On 9/6 at Manchester, she scored the game’s only goal for the winner.

On 10/7 vs. Governors State, she tallied one goal and registered 12 shots (six on-goal).

On 10/27 vs. Calumet, she scored again in a 3-0 victory.

She logged all 90 minutes 13 times across the season.

 

With Rylee Cotton anchoring the back line and Olivia Enyeart energizing the midfield, the Titans look poised for continued growth in the CCAC and the NAIA. Their individual recognitions highlight not only their own efforts but the collective upward trajectory of the program.
