WEBSTER WOMEN'S SOCCER HAS THREE PLAYERS NAMED ALL-REGION


ST. LOUIS - The Webster University women’s soccer program had three players earn all-region honors from D3Kicks.com this past Friday. Freshman midfielder Christy Capkovic (St. Louis, Mo.) was a second team selection while junior goalkeeper Jessica Kozeny (St. Louis, Mo.) and sophomore forward Kelsey McClure were named to the third team.

Capkovic finished the season tied for the team lead in assists with 15 and total points 59 and was second in goals scored with 22. She scored over half of her goals in conference play with 12 and three game winners. Capkovic recorded career-highs in goals (4) and points (9) in the Gorloks 8-1 win over Greenville on September 22 and assists (3) twice in a 12-0 rout of MacMurray on September 15 and a 5-0 victory over Dallas on October 20. She finished the season with seven multi-goal games and two multi-assist games.

In her first full year as the starting goalie Kozeny finished the season with a 16-5-1 record and had a goals against average of 0.94 allowing only 21 goals in over 2000 minutes played. She had nine shutouts which was good for third most in a single season in Webster history. Kozeny recorded double digit saves in three games this season including a season-high 13 in a 3-0 loss at Washington University on September 26. She stopped 95 of the 116 shots she faced for a save percentage of 82 percent.

After an impressive freshman campaign with Webster McClure had an even better sophomore season leading the team in goals (24) and tied Capkovic for the team lead in points. With her 24 goals she set a new Webster single season record breaking the old mark of 23 held previously by Niki Martinez. McClure set the record with a hat trick in a 3-1 victory over Greenville in the semi-finals of the SLIAC Conference Tournament on November 1. She had at least one goal in 14 games and had multi-goal games seven times. McClure recorded a season-high three goals in a 6-0 win over North Park University on September 3 then matched it in a 10-0 win over Eureka on September 29 and the above mentioned game against Greenville. She also recorded season-highs in assists (4) and points (8) in an 8-1 win over Greenville on September 22.

The Gorloks finished the season with a 16-5-1 record and grabbed a piece of the SLIAC regular season title, won the SLIAC postseason tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time in eight years.
