The bar was again raised for coach Mike Kobylinski ’03 and the Central women’s soccer team as the Dutch posted a best-ever 15-4-1 record.

In another program first, sophomore midfielder Olivia Denham and freshman forward Erin Manion were both tabbed for the NSCAA Division III All-North Region squad. Manion notched a team-high 10 goals with three assists in her rookie season while Denham scored three. It’s the fourth straight year Central’s had an all-region pick but the first time for multiple selections.

Denham and Manion were both firstteam all-Iowa Conference choices as well. Senior defender Kelsey Roxworthy, senior midfielder Kayla Sunvold and sophomore midfielder Lauryn Kramer were secondteam honorees. Manion was the conference scoring leader in league games with seven.

The Dutch were 6-2 in recording a third-place league finish.
