Three Women’s Soccer players named to the KCAC Preseason Team

Kansas Wesleyan University had three women's soccer student-athletes named to the KCAC Preseason Team for 2023. This year's preseason team is comprised of three returning All-KCAC first-team honorees, six returning All-KCAC second-team honorees, and five returning All-KCAC honorable mention honorees from the 2022 season.

Isabella Anderson, Maleia Jackson, and Precious Nwosu were named to the preseason list.

Anderson received first-team all-conference honors a year ago in her rookie campaign with the Coyotes. The freshman played a pivotal role as an outside back for the Coyotes, as KWU only allowed 12 goals during the conference season and 25 overall.

Maleia Jackson was named to the All-KCAC second-team a year ago. She scored seven goals and recorded three assists last season from her attacking midfield position.

Nwosu scored four goals and had one assist last season and played a pivotal role in KWU's success last year.
