Embry-Riddle’s Isabelle Navren Selected SSC Woman of the Year for 2023-24
MELBOURNE, Fla. - Conference voters have chosen Isabelle Navren from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University as the 2023-24 Sunshine State Conference Woman of the Year. The two-time SSC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year becomes the first Eagle to win the league's Woman of the Year award.
Athletic Directors, Senior Woman Administrators, Athletic Communication Directors, and Faculty Athletic Representatives from each of the league's 11 member institutions selected Stoller from a pool of nominees. Voters scored candidates based on the NCAA's Woman of the Year guidelines.
The Eagle soccer student-athlete collected many significant awards in 2023-24. She was tabbed the College Sports Communicators Academic All-American Team Member of the Year honor for women’s soccer following the 2023 season. Conference administrators voted her the SSC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Navren followed a 4.0 undergraduate GPA in Accounting & Finance with a perfect GPA in her MBA program. The midfielder started all 19 games for the Eagles, where she tallied 1471 minutes played and 17 points from five goals and seven assists.
Her academic prowess produced a First Team Academic All-American honor this year, following a Third Team honor in 2022. Additionally, she collected two CSC Academic All-District awards, five SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll listings, earned the Embry-Riddle Eagles of Excellence Scholarship, and made the Dean's List every semester.
This past season, the midfielder from Stockholm, Sweden, earned First Team All-South Region laurels from the United Soccer Coaches, a First Team All-South Region nod by D2CCA, First Team All-SSC from league coaches, and grabbed an SSC All-Tournament Team honor. Throughout her career, she has earned five All-Region, three All-SSC, and two SSC All-Tournament team awards.
Navren plays a meaningful role on Embry-Riddle's campus beyond the classroom and the soccer field as a member of the Riddle Support Network, which supports students with financial, academic, and housing challenges. Additionally, she has volunteered with campus clean-up and the Blue and Gold Gala. In the community, she volunteered at the Tomoka Marathon, the Color Me Kate 5k Fundraiser for cancer, the Me Strong 5k, the Gatorade volleyball tournament, the Daytona 500, the Thanksgiving Basket Brigade, and as a youth soccer coach.
Navren repeats as an NCAA Woman of the Year nominee from the SSC. In the Fall, the Woman of the Year selection committee will name the Top 30 honorees, including 10 women from each division. The selection committee will announce nine finalists in late 2024, with three advancing from each division. At January's NCAA Convention in Nashville, the national Top 30 honorees will be celebrated, and the NCAA Woman of the Year will be announced, as selected by the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics.
