LAMONI, Iowa — Graceland University sophomore midfielder Chloe Montera has been named to the Heart of America Athletic Conference Women's Soccer First Team, as announced by the league's coaches this week.

Montera, a native of Brea, California, was recognized for her outstanding play in the midfield throughout the 2025 season, serving as a consistent leader on both ends of the pitch. A dynamic two-way player, she provided stability and creativity in Graceland's attack while anchoring the team's possession game.

Montera led the Yellowjackets in nearly every major offensive category this season, finishing with 10 goals, 3 assists, and 23 total points while starting all 18 matches. Her 10 goals ranked among the top midfielders in the Heart and accounted for one-third of Graceland's total scoring output.

Her efforts helped guide Graceland to a 7-7-4 overall record, including a 4-6-3 mark in conference play. The Yellowjackets closed the fall season with a 2–0 road win at Grand View, building momentum heading into 2026.
