FULL ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM
 
Ventura anchored a very strong defensive backline for the Boxers. The Walla Walla Community College transfer made an instant impact in her first year wearing the Red and Black. The center back helped keep four clean sheets on the season and led a defense allowed that just 19 goals in 2021, which was fourth best in the NWC. Ventura logged the most minutes on the team (1,769) and was also one of three Boxers to start all 19 games.
 
Bretschieder enjoyed an excellent freshman campaign as she finished as Pacific's top scorer this season. The first-year forward scored four goals and netted one game-winner in 2021. She fired 22 shots with 11 on target, showing her efficiency in front of goal. Bretschieder scored a brace in her first collegiate contest, collecting two goals to lead her team to a 3-1 victory over Warner Pacific.
 
Alvarado had a fantastic season as Pacific's right back, dominating the right-hand side of the pitch for the Boxers. The junior started all 19 contests and played the second-most minutes on the team (1,708). The durable defender tallied one assist, setting up a crucial golden-goal in Pacific's 1-0 win over Willamette in the dying seconds of extra time.
 
Corlett was extremely reliable between the posts for the Boxers. The sophomore started 18 of the 19 games this season, logging a total of 1,680 minutes in goal. Corlett was second in the NWC with 78 saves on the year, also tallying the second-most saves-per-game (4.33). The goalkeeper made some wonderful saves to keep Pacific within striking distance on multiple occasions, showing her value at the position.
