NAPERVILLE- The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) has announced its 2025 All-Conference softball awards, and two Bluejay student-athletes have earned recognition for their standout performances this season.

Danielle Hood was named to the Second Team All-CCIW as a utility player, a testament to her impact both at the plate and in the circle.

In the circle, Hood appeared in five games with one start, recording a 3.30 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 23.1 innings, while striking out 13 batters. Her two-way performance made her one of the most dependable and dynamic players on the roster.

Ali Mockenhaupt was selected as the team's CCIW RESPECT Award recipient, which honors student-athletes who exemplify the conference's core values of Responsibility, Enthusiasm, Sportsmanship, Participation, Excellence, Commitment, and Teamwork.
