Alyssa Glover Recognized as Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year

Three Other Cowgirls Honored

LARAMIE, Wyoming (11/11/26) – The Mountain West Conference released its postseason awards for soccer on Wednesday. Alyssa Glover was honored as the Offensive Player of the Year, while three other Cowgirls were recognized, as well.

Glover also received first team all-conference notoriety as a forward. Maddie Burr was a second team honoree as a defender. Brooke Brown and Isabel Vasco both made it on the all-newcomer team.

Glover won the goals and points race in conference play and over the course of the entire regular season. She had six goals and five assists for 17 points against Mountain West foes and when taking into account the full season, she had 10 goals and eight assists for 28 points.

Burr was a menace defensively, helping the Pokes log four shutouts in league and nine for the season. She also made her presence felt on the offensive side of things, scoring a goal with three assists for five points in conference and had four goals and six assists when considering the entire season.

Brown transferred in from UConn and immediately made an impact. She netted three of her four conference goals at UNLV, good enough for Wyoming’s first hat trick in 10 years. On the season, she scored five times.

Vasco, from Green River, Wyoming, didn’t look like a true freshman this season. She found the back of the net twice and had an assist in Mountain West play, while registering a total of five goals and four assists for the season.

The No. 2-seeded Cowgirls open Mountain West Conference Tournament play later this afternoon. They battle No. 3 Hawai’i in the semifinals at 3 p.m. at GCU Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona.
