NAPERVILLE --- Eight student-athletes from the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) were named to the 2025 United Soccer Coaches All-Region VIII Team, with honorees coming from North Central, Illinois Wesleyan, Elmhurst and Wheaton. North Central led all programs with five selections, including three on the First Team and two on the Second Team.
North Central’s First Team honorees included Jordan Lange, who earned her second straight First Team award after leading the Cardinals with 14 goals, 37 points, and four game-winners. Goalkeeper Lily Mattison secured her first All-Region selection after posting a 1.01 goals-against average, a .773 save percentage and setting new program shutout records. Senior defender Kassandra Salviola earned her third consecutive First Team honor while helping anchor a back line that recorded 10 shutouts.
On the Second Team, Madison DeVriendt picked up her second career regional selection behind a five-goal, eight-assist season, while sophomore defender Mackenzie Loomis earned her first nod after starting all 22 matches and helping limit CCIW opponents to just three goals. North Central closed the season with an 8-0 CCIW mark, a sweep of the league titles, a 16-6 overall record and its first NCAA Tournament victory.
Three additional CCIW programs were represented on the All-Region VIII Third Team. Illinois Wesleyan’s Liza Wiley earned the Titans’ first regional honor since 2022 after tallying 21 points on seven goals and seven assists. Elmhurst’s Nora Simon collected Third Team recognition following the Bluejays’ 12-6-3 campaign. She scored twice during the campaign. Wheaton’s Lily Lindquist was also named to the Third Team after scoring three game-winning goals and helping the Thunder finish 6-6-7.
