IRVING, Texas – Following a strong regular season, three UCF women’s soccer players were named 2026 All-Big 12 selections, as announced by the conference office on Sunday afternoon.
Senior forward Naomi Clark and junior midfielder Ainsley Moy headlined the UCF contingent, earning All-Big 12 First Team honors, while sophomore defender Kalena Bellini garnered All-Big 12 Second Team recognition.
The First Team selections for Clark and Moy bring UCF's total number of All-Big 12 First Team honorees to four in program history. Clark and Moy join Liz Worden, who earned First Team recognition in 2025, and Chloe Netzel, who garnered the honor in 2024.
NAOMI CLARK (F) – ALL-BIG 12 FIRST TEAM
One of the Big 12's premier goal scorers, Clark earned the first all-conference honor of her distinguished career with her selection to the All-Big 12 First Team. The senior finished the regular season tied for the conference lead with 13 goals, a career-best total and the most by a Knight since Stefanie Sanders scored 13 during the 2018 campaign.
A native of Parker, Colorado, Clark enters the Big 12 Tournament tied for the league lead in goals while ranking first in goals per game (0.76) and points per game (1.82). Her 31 points rank second in the conference, and she has established herself as one of the nation's most dangerous attacking players. Nationally, Clark ranks among the NCAA's top 20 in goals per game (16th), total goals (18th), points (18th) and points per game (18th).
Clark has recorded three multi-goal performances this season, highlighted by the first hat trick of her career against UAB. She also netted her second brace of the campaign in UCF's regular-season finale against Iowa State and enters postseason play in top form after also dishing out her third career multi-assist performance in the match.
Her outstanding season has garnered national and conference recognition. Clark was tabbed No. 34 on Top Drawer Soccer's Midseason Top 100 List and earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors in September.
With 13 goals this season, Clark sits just outside the top 10 in UCF's single-season record book.
AINSLEY MOY (M) – ALL-BIG 12 FIRST TEAM
The junior Moy earned the first All-Big 12 honor of her career with her selection to the conference's First Team after emerging as one of the league's top playmakers. Moy leads UCF with nine assists, a mark that ranks third in the Big 12, while her 0.53 assists per game also sits third among conference leaders. She is second on the team with 17 points and tied for second with four goals, helping power the Knights' attack throughout the 2026 campaign.
A native of Freehold, New Jersey, Moy has appeared in all 17 matches for the Black and Gold, earning 16 starts. Early in the season, she recorded at least one assist in five of six matches, showcasing her ability to consistently create scoring chances for her teammates. She also currently ranks in the top 20 nationally in both total assists (18th) and assists per game (20th).
Moy has enjoyed a breakout junior campaign, establishing career highs in goals (4), assists (9), points (17) and game-winning goals (1). She also recorded the first brace of her collegiate career in UCF's 3-1 victory over Oklahoma State on Oct. 11 and enters postseason play having scored in each of the Knights' final two regular-season contests.
Her nine assists also place her on the doorstep of UCF's single-season record book.
KALENA BELLINI (D) – ALL-BIG 12 SECOND TEAM
The sophomore Bellini earned the first all-conference honor of her career with her selection to the All-Big 12 Second Team. One of UCF's top defenders throughout the season, Bellini has helped anchor a back line that has recorded six shutouts while appearing in all 17 matches and playing the full 90 minutes on five occasions.
A native of Lehi, Utah, Bellini has been a key piece of the Knights' defensive unit, routinely drawing assignments against the opposition's top attacking winger. Her consistent play and defensive presence have been instrumental in UCF's success on the back line throughout the 2026 campaign.
Offensively, Bellini has contributed three assists for three points this season. Each of her assists came in UCF victories, helping fuel wins over Colorado, Florida and North Florida. She has also registered eight shots while logging 1,273 minutes on the pitch.
Bellini's strong play earned her Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors earlier this season. Prior to the 2026 campaign, she spent time with Brazil's U-20 Women's National Team during a June training camp and represented Brazil in an international friendly in Portugal.
