College report 1/27/16: IWU's Schmidt named to D3 soccer All-American squad

Illinois Wesleyan senior defender Mary Kate Schmidt was named to the first team of the D3soccer.com NCAA Division III All-American squads.

Schmidt, a second-team D3soccer.com All-American in 2014, was chosen to the first team of the NCAA All-American women's soccer squads last month by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Schmidt earned first-team all-Central Region accolades for the second straight year and was all-region three times. She was the first player from Illinois Wesleyan to be named Player of the Year in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin after she anchored a back line that allowed only 10 goals and 115 shots.
