KANSAS — The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) is proud to announce the 2026 KCAC Women's Soccer Preseason Team. This year's preseason team is composed of six First Team All-KCAC Honorees, six Second Team All-KCAC Honorees, and two Honorable Mention All-KCAC Honorees from 2025.
Highlighting the preseason team are Elise Lofnertz and Alessandra Martinez, both of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, and Kieley Aranda of Friends University.
Lofnertz earned her second consecutive KCAC Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Year honor in 2025, while Martinez was named the KCAC Women's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Year. Both were part of an OKWU defense that, in the 2025 regular season, led both the KCAC and the NAIA in total goals allowed (four), goals-against average (0.20), and shutouts (16 overall, 12 in conference play). Both Lofnertz and Martinez were named to the All-KCAC First Team, and Lofnertz earned a spot on the NAIA Women's Soccer All-America Second Team.
Aranda joined Lofnertz and Martinez on the All-KCAC First Team in the 2025 season. She ranked third in the conference in goals (12), fourth in total points (26), and second in total shots (53).
The preseason team includes one sophomore, seven juniors, and six seniors.
