Portland State alum selected as the Big Sky Conference nominee for NCAA award

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Portland State women’s tennis star Nika Beukers has been chosen as the Big Sky Conference’s nominee for the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year Award, the university announced Thursday.

Beukers finished out her time at PSU as the 2025 Big Sky Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

The PSU alum is second all-time in program history in doubles wins (44), has a program-record 23 Big Sky victories, is a two-time First Team All-Big Sky Doubles honoree, and led the Vikings to three Big Sky Championship tournament appearances. All of which she did while studying for three degrees and maintaining a 3.96 GPA.

Beukers is one of the most decorated PSU women’s tennis athletes of all time. She is No. 2 all-time in Vikings history with 74 combined singles and doubles wins. As a senior, she won six matches and became only the fourth player in PSU history to reach 30 career singles wins.

Later in the year, the NCAA will pick the top three athletes from each division, nine finalists in total. Then the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics will vote for the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year.
