Two members of Trinity Western Spartans women's soccer team named to CIS all-Canadian all-star teams

The Trinity Western Spartans landed a pair of players on the Canadian Interuniversity Sport all-star teams.

Vanessa Kovacs was named a first team all-star while Krista Gommeringer was selected a second team all-star.

The pair were honoured at the CIS all-Canadian banquet on Nov. 6 in Toronto.

Toronto is the site of the CIS women’s soccer national championships as the Spartans go for a second straight title. They opened the tournament with a 3-0 quarter-final victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks as Gommeringer scored twice.

The striker led the team in scoring this past season with 10 goals — tied for the Canada West conference lead — and added five assists. She was also  a Canada West first team all-star.

In 2012, Gommeringer was the Canada West rookie of the year and both a CIS and Canada West first team all-star.

Kovacs, a third-year midfielder, was also a CIS tournament all-star last season as the Spartans won the national championship.
