Marshfield had three first-team selections, including unanimous selection Abby Ongna, on the 2024 All-Wisconsin Valley Conference Girls Soccer Team, as voted on by the seven conference coaches following the season.
Ongna, a senior midfielder, was one of eight unanimous picks on the 11-player first team. She was joined in the first team by Marshfield junior goalkeeper Payton Bremer and senior forward/midfielder Presley Franklin.

Marshfield junior midfielder Lauryn Katzenberger and senior defender Ava Paape were among the second team picks, and seniors Grace Taylor, Hayden Berger and Zoie Skattebo were honorable mention selections for the Tigers.
D.C. Everest senior Jenna Baumann was named the Wisconsin Valley Conference Player of the Year after scoring 10 goals and dishing out five assists as the Evergreens won the conference championship with an 8-0-1 record.
