After a 2-1 win over Wheaton College, the women’s soccer team won the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin tournament title, earning an automatic NCAA tournament bid. Playing at home in the first round of the NCAA championships, Illinois Wesleyan lost to Hanover College, ending the season with a record of 12-6-3. Four players were selected to the first team of the 2016 all-conference squads. Skyler Tomko ’17, Sarah Trach ’17, and Alison Seger ’17, along with defender Ellie Crabtree ’20, were named to the first team while Dave Barrett won his second-straight (fifth overall) CCIW “Coach of the Year” honor. Later in November Tomko was also elected to the third team of the Division III Women’s Soccer Academic All-America® Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. It was the second straight year for the honor for Tomko, who has a 3.95 grade-point average as a nursing major. (Photo by Michael Hudson Photography)
