EVERETT, WA—Following a strong fall season for women’s and men’s soccer at Trinity Lutheran College, women’s goalkeeper KC Wilson and men’s midfielder Jesse Torres have both been named to the NCCAA All-Northwest Region Team.

Wilson, a freshman psychology major from Bothell, Wash., helped the Lady Eagles secure a position at the West Regional playoffs November 10-11. According to teammate and co-captain sophomore Tanya Tarabochia, Wilson’s playing stood out to playoff fans.

“KC deserved to be named All-Northwest Region, and she had a really good season. She has the best vision on the team,” Tarabochia said.

Torres, a sophomore communications major from Pomona, Cali., was a key offensive component for the Eagles during the fall season, tallying seven goals and four assists. David Mugambira, head assistant coach for Trinity men’s soccer, credits the NCCAA recognition to Torres’s leadership and demeanor on the field.

“Jesse’s a talented player. He is one of the best players I have been around and have coached. He could go on to play somewhere professionally if he took that on himself,” Mugambira said.

After two successful seasons for both the men’s and women’s teams, the Trinity soccer program looks to build on their success, with their sights set on a regional win for both the women and the men in 2012.
