DENVER – University of Denver women's soccer players
Hannah Tate,
Isabella Chidiac and
Emma Thielbahr each earned a spot on the 2025 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Women's All-West Region Teams, the association announced on Wednesday.
Tate led the way with first-team honors while Chidiac and Thielbahr landed second- and third-team nods, respectively.
Tate, the 2025 Summit League Midfielder of the Year, earned All-Summit League honors for the second year in a row this past season. She ended year with two goals – both game winners – and an assist, all coming in Summit League play. Her 87
th-minute game winner against South Dakota in the regular-season finale completed Denver's 2-1 comeback win and secured a share of the Summit League regular-season title for the Pioneers. She saw the full 90 minutes in all but one of the 15 matches she played in 2025.
Chidiac finished the regular season tied for No. 17 nationally in total assists on the season with nine, tying atop the Summit League standings and earning All-Summit League first-team honors. During her breakout campaign in 2025, she netted her first collegiate goal against Kansas City, giving her 11 points on the year – all her first as a collegiate player. For the first time in her career, she played in every match of the season and did so after making starts in all 18. In total, she played nearly 1300 minutes, nearly 1000 more than her previous career best for a single season.
Thielbahr, the 2025 Summit League Defensive Player of the Year, joined Tate and Chidiac in collecting All-Summit League first-team recognition after leading the team with four goals – two of them game winners. She posted her first career brace against then-No. 25 Colorado State in a 2-1 come-from-behind win for Denver in September. Two weeks later, she scored her second game winner of the season, this time in a comeback win at North Dakota State. For the second year in a row, she started in every match for Denver and played the full 90 minutes in all but one match.
These are the first United Soccer Coaches All-Region Team honors for each of the three Pioneers. They become the 12
th, 13
th and 14
th Pioneers to earn All-Region recognition. Tate is the seventh first-team honoree and gives Denver a player on the first team in each of the last two seasons after
Ella Frost did so in 2024. With the trio on this year's teams, Denver has now had multiple All-Region honorees in eight consecutive seasons.
