GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – Colorado Mesa’s Keely Wieczorek is the 2025 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s Academic Player of the Year, leading a 13-member First Team Academic All-RMAC Team as selected by the league’s athletic communications directors.

Wieczorek, the 2024 and 2025 RMAC Goalkeeper of the Year, claims the Academic Player of the Year honor following an outstanding year on the field and in the classroom. The junior holds a 3.91 grade-point average as an exercise science major, but on the field, Wieczorek is just as amazing. She recorded a stellar 0.235 goals-against average, a .926 save percentage, 50 saves, and 14 shutouts this season. Her goals-against average leads all of Division II, while her save percentage and shutout total each rank second nationally. Within the RMAC, she tops the conference in several goalkeeping statistics, including goals-against average, save percentage, and shutouts. Anchored by her outstanding play, Colorado Mesa finished with a 13-2-2 overall record, including an unbeaten 9-0-2 mark in conference action, capturing its first RMAC Regular Season Championship since 2021.

Wieczorek paces a 13-member First Team Academic All-RMAC group with nine of the league’s 13 women’s soccer-sponsoring institutions represented. Regis’ Natalie Bunch, University of Colorado Colorado Springs’ Taylynn Levi, Colorado School of Mines’ Allie Lundgren, and Black Hills State’s Ainsley Wilson all return as First Team Academic All-RMAC honorees.

In addition, the RMAC recognized 152 student-athletes, including the 13 First Team Academic All-RMAC honorees, on its 2025 Women’s Soccer Academic Honor Roll.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.

Each institution’s athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league’s athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
