December 5, 2006

Four members of the William Jewell women’s soccer team were named National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-Americans. Midfielders Megan Gray and Ashley Tanner, forward Nicole Revenaugh and defender Megan Penrod were all named as an Honorable Mention All-Americans.

All four players were first team All-Conference selections in the very competitive Heart of America Athletic Conference. Coach Chris Cissell is glad to see them recognized nationally.

“Our girls worked really hard this season and they deserve the conference, region and now national awards that they have been given,” said Cissell. “We are going to work very hard this off-season and come back even stronger in 2007.”

The Cardinals finished their season 14-4-2 with a second place finish in the HAAC and a third place finish in Region V.
