This year the Scots had four individual winners: Kayla Braun (Evansville, Illinois), Kaden Foglesong (Ipava, Illinois), Blake Orwig (Wyoming, Illinois) and Jillian Toth (El Paso, Illinois).
Braun and Toth are repeat honorees and Braun was also All-Academic in 2024, The four individual honors are tied with last year for the most for the Fighting Scots since the 2021 season.
