KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Washburn Ichabod soccer team had two of its members named to the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division II squad announced today by the coaching organization as Jordan Tenpas was a first-team All-America selection and Khloe Schuckman was a third-team pick. The Ichabods will be playing in the NCAA National Championship game on Saturday at 11 a.m. CST facing Point Loma in Matthews, N.C.
Tenpas was a first-team All-American selection after earning first-team all-region honors earlier this week. She was named the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year and a first team all-region selection by the D2CCA. The junior defender from Placentia, Calif. has played and started in 20 matches for Washburn logging 1,769 in her first season after transferring. She has played every minute of all five tournament games. This season she has anchored a backline that has allowed 0.66 goals per game. She is the first player to earn first-team honors in program history.
Schuckman earned third-team All-American honors after picking up first-team all-region honors first time in her career by the USC while leading the Ichabods in points (27) and goals (11). The junior forward from Wichita, Kan. has played and started 24 games this season playing 1,724 minutes. In the Ichabods run to a Central Region title she scored five goals in three matches with game winners in all three.
The duo is the first Ichabod All-American selections since the 2008 season when Ichabod Athletic Hall of Famer Lisa Fahey earned honorable mention defensive honors. Washburn's only other All-American selection came in 2006 when Jessica Mainz was a second-team selection as a forward.
