Scrosoppi players recognized in League1 Ontario awards

October 20, 2025

As the League1 Ontario Premier and Championship end-of-season awards conclude for another year, four Scrosoppi personnel are taking away individual honours.

Yasmin Castillo was voted as the Women’s Championship’s Most Valuable Player in 2025 after her crucial part in earning Scrosoppi promotion to the top tier of the L1ON pyramid. She played 15 games in the division and scored eight goals.


Forward Jahkaya Davis also netted eight for Scrosoppi in 12 games, and she became the Women’s Championship’s Forward of the Year, with teammate Ella Cahill joining her as one of the three finalists for the prize.


There was also an individual honour for John Yacou. After finishing as a finalist for the Men’s Premier Coach of the Year accolade, Yacou’s inspired promotion to the Women’s Premier saw him handed this award for the Women’s Championship.



In the Men’s Premier, Jacob Cabral was named Young (U20) Player of the Year, having played more than 1,300 minutes in the Scrosoppi side that finished second in the regular-season standings.

Rising All-Stars


In addition to the individual winners, there were also celebrations for Scrosoppi players who were chosen as a finalist for an award and named in the All-Star teams.


Starting at the back, Elisa Paolucci was in the top three for the Women’s Championship’s Goalkeeper of the Year after Scrosoppi conceded just 18 goals all season. Matthew Paiva was a finalist for the Defender of the Year in the Men’s Premier and named in the division’s All-Star First Team alongside teammates Omari Cotterell and Tomasz Skublak.


Skublak was a finalist for Forward of the Year in the Men’s Premier, having had a productive season as the division’s reigning Most Valuable Player.


While it was Castillo who took home the coveted MVP prize for her competition this time around, she was also named as a finalist for the Women’s Championship’s Midfielder of the Year and Young (U20) Player of the Year – such was the mark she made on the league in 2025.


Castillo, Jahkaya Davis, and Ella Cahill all earned starting spots in the Women’s Championship’s All-Star First Team, in addition to defender Tierra Bennett who recorded 16 regular-season outings this season.


Evana Eyubeh was awarded with a spot in the division’s All-Star Second Team following her 11 matches and single goal in 2025, rounding off a very successful haul for Scrosoppi players from the end-of-season awards. Congratulations to all!
