COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 3, 2026) – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) announced its 2026 Women's Soccer All-Conference teams Tuesday afternoon, with three CSU Pueblo student-athletes earning All-RMAC Honorable Mention recognition following the conclusion of the regular season.
Abby Menk, Caytlynn Garland and Nadia Bailey each received honorable mention honors after helping lead the ThunderWolves throughout the 2026 campaign under head coach John Constable.
The trio played significant roles for the Pack this season, with all three appearing in at least 17 matches as CSU Pueblo finished with a 5-10-3 overall record and a 3-7-2 mark in RMAC play.
Abby Menk (Sr., Delano, Minn.)
Menk highlighted the ThunderWolves' offensive attack in 2026, leading the team with five goals and 10 points while appearing in all 18 matches.
The CSU Pueblo standout finished the season with 22 shots, including 12 on goal, for a .545 shots-on-goal percentage. Her five goals accounted for nearly one-third of the Pack's 16 goals on the season.
Menk also led the ThunderWolves with two game-winning goals and converted her lone penalty kick opportunity of the year.
She closed the regular season on a strong note, finding the back of the net in consecutive home victories over Adams State and New Mexico Highlands. Menk scored in the Pack's 2-0 victory against Adams State on Oct. 23 before adding another goal in a 2-0 Senior Day triumph over New Mexico Highlands on Oct. 25.
Her offensive production helped CSU Pueblo secure back-to-back shutout victories during its final homestand of the season.
Garland earned All-RMAC Honorable Mention recognition after serving as a consistent presence for the ThunderWolves throughout the 2026 campaign.
Appearing in 17 matches, Garland recorded two assists and two points while contributing seven shots, including two on goal.
Her contributions extended beyond the offensive stat sheet, as she provided valuable minutes and a steady presence for the Pack throughout conference play.
Garland's ability to contribute on both sides of the ball helped anchor CSU Pueblo's efforts during a challenging RMAC schedule.
Nadia Bailey (Jr., San Antonio, Tex.)
Bailey rounded out CSU Pueblo's three All-RMAC Honorable Mention selections after serving as a key contributor to the ThunderWolves' defensive unit throughout the 2026 campaign.
The Pack defender appeared in all 18 matches, providing a consistent presence along the back line while helping CSU Pueblo record five shutouts on the season.
In addition to her defensive contributions, Bailey made an impact offensively, finishing the year with one goal and one assist for three points. She also registered seven shots, including two on goal.
Her ability to contribute on both ends of the pitch, combined with her durability and steady play along the back line, made her a valuable part of the ThunderWolves' defensive efforts throughout the season.
