NEW YORK – Columbia women's soccer seniors Maia Tabion and Justina Bitzer were named to the 2025 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Women's All-East Region list earlier this week.
Both First Team All-Ivy honorees in 2025, Tabion earned Second Team All-East Region honors and Bitzer was tabbed Third Team All-East Region.
Tabion had another standout season as a senior this past year, and was the driving force in Columbia's attack. A creative and dynamic playmaker, Tabion led the Ivy League in assists with six, and cracked the conference's top-10 in points (with a team high 12) and shots. Some of her highlights included tallying a goal and a helper less than a minute apart in the Lions' 3-0 win over Yale, providing three points in Columbia's 2-1 win over Fordham, and scoring a key goal in the Lions' 2-1 win over Brown. Her vision and energy in midfield helped guide Columbia to the postseason for the third consecutive season.
One of the Ivy League's most dependable defenders, Bitzer anchored Columbia's back line throughout the 2025 campaign. A steady presence in all phases of play, Bitzer started every match and led a defensive unit that produced multiple shutouts. Her organization, composure, and leadership were vital to the Lions' postseason-clinching run. She also tallied an assist in the Lions' 2-1 win over Fordham.
