Seven members of the Kansas University soccer squad were honored as All-Big 12 Conference selections on Monday.
Seniors Meghan Miller and Amy Geha, junior Caroline Smith and sophomore Holly Gault were first-team selections. Senior Rachel Gilfillan and freshman Afton Sauer were named second-teamers.
Sauer and sophomore Nicole Cauzillo were honored as All-Big 12 Newcomers.
Also, KU coach Mark Francis was named Big 12 Coach of the Year after leading the Jayhawks to a 16-3 overall record and an 8-2 mark in league play. KU was co-champion of the Big 12.
“It is nice to get that honor,” Francis said. “I was really happy for the team to have so many players to be named to the All-Big 12 team. It is great that the team and the players are getting that type of recognition, but we still have more to do this season.”
