Alumna K. Jenkins

WPFC Alumna voted as a 1st team NSCAA All-Far West Region selection

 Led by All-American Kelsey Jenkins, Seattle Pacific placed three players on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) West Region first team all-star squad for NCAA Division II competitors.


Joining Jenkins on the first team were Falcons teammates Megan Lindsay and Josie Graybeal.

Jenkins was earlier honored as a third-team All-American by Daktronics as selected by sports information directors. Lindsay was an honorable mention member on that team.

That talented quartet helped the Falcons (17-3) win their third consecutive Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship and qualify for the NCAA Division II Tournament for the ninth straight season. SPU posted a 4-0 opening-round victory over Grand Canyon before losing 2-1 to Cal State L.A. in the West Region semifinal.

A product of Kentwood High School, Jenkins is a senior midfielder who received the 2011 GNAC Player of the Year award. She was the league leader with 11 assists.  Three of her four goals were game-winners.

Jenkins completed her collegiate career with 17 goals and 23 assists. She is the daughter of former Seattle Sounder (1976-70) Tommy Jenkins.
