Kaitlyn Asher and Taryn Kedzior were named First Team All-Region and Monika McGee was named Second Team All-Region. All three also earned All-Region honors from the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association.
 
"We're so proud of them," UCO head soccer coach Mike Cook said. "They worked so hard for this day in and day out. They led our team with great pride and we accomplished much of what we did because of them and their leadership."
 
Kedzior is a two-time All-Region selection, having earned First Team honors as well in 2018. This season, the Claremore, Oklahoma native was named First Team All-MIAA in addition to earning the league's Defensive Player of the Year award. Kedzior scored seven goals and had three assists to help the offense and led a defensive charge that resulted in 12 shutouts for Central Oklahoma this fall.

Asher was a first time pick for All-Region this season in both the D2CCA and the coaches' association. After having the 2020 season canceled, she returned to end her career on her own terms, and she was named MIAA co-Goalkeeper of the Year following this season. Asher played 1,720 minutes in goal for the Bronchos this fall. She made 73 saves and had a 0.94 goals against average. Asher had eight of 12 UCO shutouts all to her credit and she played in each of the 12 shutouts the team managed this season.

McGee also earned All-Region honors for the first time in her career. The Moore, Oklahoma native led UCO with nine goals scored and she also had one assist. McGee took 48 shots from her midfield position and exactly half of those were shots on goal.

Central Oklahoma went 13-5-3 in 2021, earning the No. 4 seed in the MIAA's postseason tournament. The Bronchos made the conference championship semifinals before earning an at-large bid to the national tournament. UCO tied Bemidji State in the opening round before losing a penalty kick shootout to end its season after a 14th trip to nationals.
