After earning a spot on the MVC All-Freshman team in 2024, Mroz established himself as one of the top keepers in the country this season. Mroz's .950 goals against average ranked 46
th nationally, while his save percentage of .750 was good for 60
h. In MVC play, Mroz was especially stout, leading the league in goals against average (.714), save percentage (.839), and shutouts (4) in regular season play.
As a freshman in 2024, Mroz was an integral part of Evansville's run to the MVC Tournament championship, starting all 21 matches in goal. Mroz posted an 11-7-3 record with a 1.55 goals against average and posted five clean sheets, the second-most in the Valley. Mroz also ranked second in the MVC with 4.10 saves per game, holding a season save percentage of .723.
Mroz rose to the occasion during the Aces' 2024 MVC championship run, most notably shutting out top-seeded and nationally-ranked Missouri State in the MVC Tournament semifinal. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Massachusetts, Mroz made a season-high nine saves.
