"FAIRFAX, Va. - Graduate student defender
Zoë Vidaurre has been named to the Atlantic 10 First Team All-Conference, the league announced on Tuesday.
Vidaurre's fourth and final year in Green and Gold marked her most productive season yet. She led the Patriots with 14 points, recording team-highs in both goals (six) and assists (two). Having started all 18 matches for Mason this year, Vidaurre led all field players with 1,607 minutes played.
Vidaurre played a pivotal role in anchoring a much-improved Mason backline during her final season. The Patriots significantly tightened their defense, conceding just 25 goals - a notable improvement from 40 the previous year. Opponents were also limited to 225 total shots, down from 352 in 2024, reflecting the team's enhanced organization and defensive discipline.
In addition to her defensive contributions, Vidaurre also cemented herself as one of the team's most threatening offensive weapons. She opened her scoring account with impact, netting the decisive goal in George Mason's Atlantic 10 opener against George Washington on September 20th. With the match tied 1-1, Vidaurre stepped up with composure and confidence to take the penalty kick in the 68th minute - a moment that embodied her leadership as one of the team's captains. That goal was the first of her three game-winners this season, tying her for third-most in the conference and highlighting her ability to deliver in key moments. Vidaurre continued conference play scoring a goal in four consecutive matches. On October 2nd, she scored her first career brace against St. Bonaventure.
Vidaurre's selection marks a historic moment for Mason Women's Soccer, as she becomes only the second player in program history to earn First Team honors since the university joined the conference in 2013. She is the first to receive any all-conference recognition since 2016. Her leadership, ability to find the back of the net, and defensive prowess anchored the Patriots throughout the season, culminating in a standout final year that solidified her legacy within the program."
