Borodina was named to the all-singles team for the first time in her career. The junior, who spent most of the season playing at the No. 1 singles position, compiled a pair of league victories in 2025. Borodina was also ahead in two other matches that went unfinished during MW action this season.

Kochelaevskaia made an immediate impact for Wyoming in her freshman campaign, compiling a 4-3 record in MW play, playing at both the No. 1 and 2 singles positions. Kochelaevskaia posted a 3-1 mark at the second spot. This marks the fifth consecutive season that Wyoming has landed a pair on the All-Mountain West Singles Team.

In doubles, Borodina and Mashabayeva were a force, playing the whole season together at the No. 1 doubles spot. The duo went 6-2 in Mountain West play this season. The tandem was an integral part to the Cowgirls’ team success at doubles this season as UW went 6-4 for Doubles Points during MW action in 2025. This marks the second all-doubles honor for Borodina in her career. Wyoming has had a doubles team named all-conference every season during the Dean Clower Era.

The trio and the rest of the Cowgirls open Mountain West Championship play Wednesday at 11 a.m., against ninth-seeded Colorado State.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
