Wisconsin-Eau Claire\u2019s Sophie Rausch and UW-River Falls\u2019 Maddie McCollins were tabbed the WIAC women’s co-players of the year to lead the individuals selected to the 2023 all-WIAC team by the league coaches.<\/p>\n

Rausch is the third Blugold to receive the honor, joining Courtney Wittig (2019) and Erin Connolly (2020). McCollins\u2019 selection marks the sixth time that a UW-River Falls player has claimed the honor.<\/p>\n
