Kansas Wesleyan quarterback Chihiro Iwata was named as the KCAC Flag Football Co-Player of the Year headlining KWU's picks to the All-KCAC Flag Football teams as selected by conference coaches and announced by the conference office.
 
Iwata was named Co-Player of the Year along with Ottawa's fifth-year quarterback Madysen Carrera. In conference play, Iwata was phenomenal, completing 67.6 percent of passes and throwing for 2044 yards in nine conference games. She averaged 227.1 yards per game, and threw for 38 touchdowns and just two interceptions. She led the KCAC in yards per game, total yards passing, completions, attempts and touchdowns. Her efforts also earned her First Team All-KCAC honors.
 
Aliyah Wood was named to the All-KCAC first team both as a receiver and a defensive back, excelling at both positions during the conference season. She led the KCAC in total receiving yards during conference play with 550 and was fourth in the conference in touchdown receptions with eight. Her 48 receptions during conference play ranked second in the KCAC and her 61.1 yards per game led the KCAC and her 11.5 yards per catch ranked No. 24 in the KCAC.  Defensively she had four interceptions during conference play that ranked No. 4 in the KCAC and had four pass breakups, ranking No. 14 in the conference.
 
Alexis Jimenez was named to the All-KCAC first team as a screen blocker. Jimenez was great for the Coyotes during conference play, helping hold opponents to only two sacks during conference play. She also added a little offense for the Coyotes, catching five passes during the conference season, including one for a touchdown.
 
Alexa Mansur was selected to the All-KCAC first team as a linebacker. She had 28 flag pulls during the conference season, to go along with two interceptions and seven pass breakups. Her seven pass breakups ranked No. 6 in the KCAC during conference play. Her flag pull total ranked No. 16 in the KCAC during conference play. Opposing offenses tried to find ways to neutralize Mansur's excellent defensive skills, but were widely unsuccessful in their efforts.
 
Angel Roman was selected to four All-KCAC honors at different positions including two different defensive spots. She was named to the first-team as a wide receiver, the second-team as a defensive back and as a utility player, and the honorable mention team as a linebacker. At the receiver position, she ranked No. 15 in the KCAC in receiving yards per game, averaging 35.4 yards per game. She ranked No. 13 in the KCAC in total receptions with 28 during conference play.

Khylie Douglas was named to the second-team as a rusher. She had 13 flag pulls during conference play and had two sacks which ranked No. 20 in the KCAC during  conference play, and she halso had two pass breakups. Douglas spent a lot of time in the opposing team's backfield disrupting plays and forcing quarterbacks on the run or to make bad decisions.
 
Addison Cadwell was named to the second-team as a punt team specialist and honorable mention as a receiver. She ranked sixth in the KCAC among regular punters with a 27.9 per kick average on eight punts. She pinned teams inside their own 20 yard line three times. On offense, she had eight catches during conference play for 99 yards and two touchdowns.
 
Ciaran DeCuir was named to the honorable mention team as receiver. She had 19 catches for 340 yards during the conference season. She averaged 37.8 yards per game and 17.9 yards per catch. She ranked No. 11 in the KCAC in total yards receiving, No. 13 in yards per game, No. 4 in yards per catch and No. 4 in touchdown catches.

Ava Duerr was named to the honorable mention team as a center. Duerr did an excellent job of getting the ball back to the quarterback with minimal bad snaps that caused significant losses or disrupted the flow of plays. She also added an offensive spark with 23 receptions for 201 yards and three touchdowns during the conference season.
 
Nyjah Green was named honorable mention as a linebacker. She had 12 flag pulls for the Coyotes during conference play and had two sacks. She also had one interception.
