INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Four members of the Quincy women's soccer team earned postseason recognition from the Great Lakes Valley Conference, highlighting a successful 2026 campaign and the leadership of a senior class that helped guide the Hawks throughout the season.
Jessie Newton and Rebecca Rheinheimer were named to the All-GLVC First Team, while Marina Oberschmid earned All-GLVC Second Team honors. Libby Kamp was recognized as a James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award Honoree, showing her contributions to the program and the spirit of competition.
For the second consecutive season, the Hawks placed three student-athletes on the All-Conference teams. With Newton and Rheinheimer both earning First Team recognition, Quincy also placed multiple players on the All-GLVC First Team for the first time since 2017.
Each of the four honorees played an important role in Quincy's success this season, providing leadership, experience and consistency on the field while helping the Hawks earn a postseason berth and finish among the conference's top teams.
Newton Leads the Hawks' Attack
Newton earned First Team recognition after delivering one of the most productive seasons by a playmaker in Quincy women's soccer history. The senior finished the 2026 campaign with four goals and a team-high 17 assists, totaling 25 points across 18 appearances.
Her 17 assists established a new Quincy single-season record, surpassing the previous mark of 14 she set earlier in the season. Newton also finished atop the GLVC in assists and currently leads all of NCAA Division II with 17 total assists. Her average of 0.94 assists per game also leads the nation, further highlighting her remarkable playmaking ability throughout the campaign.
Newton's ability to control the attacking tempo and deliver quality service made her a central piece of the Hawks' offensive success.
One of her standout performances came against Lincoln, when she recorded three assists in Quincy's 6-0 victory. She also contributed two goals and two assists during the Hawks' dominant 7-0 win over Upper Iowa.
Throughout her senior season, Newton served as one of Quincy's primary leaders in the attacking third, combining her vision and playmaking ability with the experience to help guide the team's offense.
Rheinheimer Powers Quincy's Scoring
Rheinheimer joined Newton on the All-GLVC First Team after an outstanding senior campaign that established her as one of the conference's premier scoring threats. The forward finished the season with 16 goals and two assists for 34 points in 18 appearances, leading the Hawks in goals and points.
The selection marks Rheinheimer's second career All-GLVC First Team honor, making her the first Quincy player to earn First Team recognition twice since Abby Pulliam, who received the distinction in both 2015 and 2018.
Rheinheimer's scoring production placed her among the GLVC's top offensive players, finishing second in the conference in goals and points. She also recorded multiple game-winning goals, demonstrating her ability to deliver in important moments throughout the season.
Her most impressive stretch came during the final weeks of the regular season, when she consistently found the back of the net and helped propel Quincy into postseason contention. Rheinheimer recorded hat tricks against Southwest Baptist and Lincoln, while also scoring twice against Upper Iowa.
The senior's finishing ability, attacking presence and determination made her a focal point of Quincy's offense. Her performances provided the Hawks with a reliable scoring threat and helped establish the team's attacking identity throughout the season.
Oberschmid Anchors the Hawks
Oberschmid earned All-GLVC Second Team honors following a strong senior season in which she helped provide stability and leadership on the field. Appearing in 17 matches and making 17 starts, Oberschmid contributed three goals and one assist for seven points.
Her impact extended beyond the stat sheet, as she played an important role in connecting Quincy's defensive and attacking efforts. Oberschmid's work rate, consistency and ability to compete defensively helped the Hawks maintain possession and transition effectively throughout the season.
Oberschmid also made her mark in key moments, recording memorable goals during the campaign. Her experience and leadership were valuable pieces of a Quincy team that finished 8-4-6 overall and 8-2-4 in conference play.
Kamp Recognized for Leadership
Kamp was honored as a James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award Honoree, recognizing her commitment to sportsmanship and the values of collegiate athletics.
The senior goalkeeper stepped into an important role late in the season, making six appearances and starting each of those contests. Kamp recorded 17 saves, four shutouts and allowed just two goals across 540 minutes in goal, finishing with a .895 save percentage and a 0.33 goals-against average.
Her contributions were especially important during Quincy's late-season push toward the postseason. Kamp recorded consecutive shutouts against Upper Iowa, Lincoln and Truman State as the Hawks closed the regular season with a four-match winning streak.
Kamp's recognition reflects the character and leadership she brought to the program, both in goal and as a senior teammate. Her ability to step into a demanding role while maintaining a team-first approach highlighted the importance of her contributions throughout the season.
Seniors Helped Shape the Season
The postseason honors represent a fitting recognition for four seniors who played significant roles in Quincy's season. Newton's record-setting playmaking, Rheinheimer's scoring production, Oberschmid's defensive presence and Kamp's dependable goalkeeping each contributed to the Hawks' success.
Quincy finished the regular season fourth in the GLVC standings, earning the right to host a conference tournament quarterfinal for the second consecutive year. The Hawks also recorded eight shutouts during the season and finished with 38 goals, showcasing the balance and depth that defined the team's campaign.
While the season came to a close in the GLVC Tournament, the accomplishments of Newton, Rheinheimer, Oberschmid and Kamp stand as a lasting reflection of their impact on the program.
Their leadership, dedication and performances throughout the year helped establish a strong foundation for Quincy women's soccer and made their senior seasons memorable.
