IOWA CITY, Iowa – Two members of the University of Iowa women’s soccer team – sophomore Sofia Bush and graduate Maggie Johnston – earned United Soccer Coaches All-North Region honors, it was announced Wednesday by United Soccer Coaches.
Bush earned third-team honors, while Johnston was a fourth-team selection. The pair of Hawkeyes become the 13th and 14th players to earn all-region honors.

Bush scored five goals and had four assists during the 2024 season and she ranked third on the team with 14 points. The Marion, Iowa, native earned third-team All-Big Ten honors and she was rated 17th on Top Drawer Soccer’s Midseason Top 100. She was one of five player to start all 22 games.
