SAN RAMON, Calif. – Texas State senior Victoria Meza was named the Pac-12 Conference Forward of the Year and a First Team All-Pac-12 selection, while junior Helen Alormenu earned Second Team All-Conference honors, the league announced on Friday.

The honors cap the Bobcats' inaugural season in the Pac-12, a campaign that included the program's first national ranking, its first victory over a ranked opponent and a six-match winning streak to open the year.

Meza led Texas State with 11 goals (2nd Pac-12, 36th nationally), seven assists (3rd Pac-12) and 29 points (2nd Pac-12) in 15 matches. Her 11 goals are the most by a Bobcat in a single season since Kaylie Davis in 2018. Five of them were game-winners (2nd Pac-12, 13th nationally), and she led the team with 50 shots and 24 shots on goal.

Meza opened her senior season with her first career brace against UTRGV, then followed it with another against Texas A&M, including the 87th-minute game-winner in the program's first win over an SEC opponent. A third brace against Texas Southern made her one of two players in the country with three braces through six matches.

The senior was named Pac-12 Player of the Week and TopDrawerSoccer National Player of the Week on Sept. 9 after a 4-3 comeback win over Rice, when she assisted on three second-half goals and scored the game-winner in the final minute. The win tied the best start in program history at 6-0-1.

The San Salvador, El Salvador native earned IWSOC National Player of the Week honors on Oct. 29. She scored twice and added two assists in a 4-2 win over Gonzaga, a career-high six points that tied for the fifth-most in a match in program history. Three days later at Washington State, she headed in a Lilah Dupree cross in the final minute of regulation for a 1-1 draw, her second last-minute goal of the season.

Meza was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List in August, becoming the second Bobcat ever on the national player of the year award watch list (Kaylie Davis, 2019). She was the only Pac-12 player among the 64 named. She stayed on the midseason list in September as one of 30 Division I players and again the only player from the Pac-12. She was also named to the United Soccer Coaches Players to Watch list before the season.

A 2025 First Team All-Sun Belt selection and the 2025 Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Meza has 23 goals, 16 assists and 62 points in 68 career matches with the Bobcats, including nine game-winners.

Helen Alormenu earns all-conference honors for the second straight season after being named First Team All-Sun Belt in 2025. The junior midfielder finished the regular season with three goals, including a game-winner, one assist and seven points in 17 matches and 16 starts.

The Accra, Ghana native was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week on Aug. 25 after scoring twice in a 3-1 win at No. 6 Baylor, the first victory over a ranked opponent in program history. Teammate Jenny Ngankem was named Defensive Player of the Week the same day, the first time two Bobcats swept a week's conference player awards since the 2024 season.

The junior was named to the United Soccer Coaches Players to Watch list before the season. Alormenu has 11 goals, seven assists and 29 points in 50 career matches.
