CHICAGO, Ill. -- North Park Women's Tennis teammates Alexandra Pugachova and Katja Carlberg claimed College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) all-conference honors for the 2025 fall season as the league announced its list on Monday morning. The Vikings were one of five teams to have more than one representative on the 12-player all-conference list.

Pugachova, a Lund, Skåne, Sweden native, held a record of 5-2 in conference action as North Park's #1 player. Pugachova enjoyed a 6-1, 6-2 win over Wheaton's #1 player this season, marking the first time since the spring season that the Thunder's top player lost a set by more than five games. Pugachova also became North Park's first player to earn CCIW Player of the Week honors twice in one season.

Like Pugachova, Carlberg also enjoyed a 5-2 record in conference play, with her entire record happening in the #2 slot. Pugachova's final conference win of the 2025 fall season was a dominant 6-1, 6-2 triumph over Illinois Wesleyan's #2 player. The Västerhaninge, Sweden native won three of her final five matches of 2025 and also secured a doubles win against Millikin alongside teammate Emilia Sand.

Additionally, Thea Gifvars was named North Park's representative for the CCIW's RESPECT Award.
