Stanford University’s Jasmine Aikey, Seven Castain from Texas Christian University, Florida State University’s Jordynn Dudley and Izzy Engle of the University of Notre Dame have been announced as the four finalists for the Class of 2026 Honda Sport Award for Soccer, as revealed today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).

The announcement comes during a landmark moment for the organization, as the CWSA celebrates its 50th anniversary during the 2025–26 collegiate athletics season. For five decades, the Honda Sport Award has honored the nation’s top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports, symbolizing “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.” The recipient will become a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the Class of 2026 Honda Cup, to be presented live on Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.

The soccer finalists were selected by a panel of experts and coaches from the United Soccer Coaches. Voting for the Honda Sport Award for soccer is conducted by senior women administrators from more than 1,000 NCAA member institutions.

Senior forward Jasmine Aikey, hailing from Palo Alto, Calif., is a two-time Honda Award finalist and a 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist, earning back-to-back United Soccer Coaches All-America first-team honors. She helped Stanford to three College Cup appearances, including a pair of championship runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2025. The 2025 ACC Championship MVP, Aikey helped the Cardinal to both the ACC regular season and tournament titles.

Seven Castain, a senior forward from Draper, Utah, earned 2025 United Soccer Coaches All-America first-team honors and was a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist after tying the program’s single-season goals record with 17. She posted 38 points, second-most in school history, and tallied six multi-goal games, including two hat tricks. Castain scored five goals during TCU’s NCAA run to the College Cup.

Dudley, a 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist, helped lead the Seminoles to the 2025 NCAA Championship and is now a two-time national champion. A two-time United Soccer Coaches All-America first-team selection, the junior foward from Milton, Ga., paced FSU with 14 assists, 36 points, and 88 shots this season. Dudley recorded a point in 13 straight matches and finished the year ranked among the nation’s top 20 in assists, points, and shots.

Sophomore forward Izzy Engle, hailing from Edina, Minn., is a 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist and the ACC Offensive Player of the Year after producing 44 points in just 19 matches. Her 19 goals ranked fifth nationally, and she was one of only two players to reach double-digit goals in ACC play, including the league’s lone hat trick. A two-time All-America and All-ACC first-team selection, she has scored an impressive 38 goals in 41 career matches.

As the CWSA marks its 50th anniversary, the organization continues its longstanding mission to honor excellence in athletics, leadership, academics, and community service. Since 1986, Honda has contributed more than $3.4 million in institutional grants to support women’s athletics programs nationwide.
