Senior soccer athlete Eliza Welscher of the Caledonia/Spring Grove/Houston was named to the 2020 All-Three Rivers Conference Team. Sophomore teammate Ayshia Gay received Honorable Mention. Welscher “always played where we needed her,” said Warrior coach Chris Jandt. “Eliza is the ultimate team player. Throughout the year, she has played numerous positions outside of her normal midfield. She played center defense, wing and forward. She is an outstanding player and a greater person.” Gay, although only a sophomore, started for the second year. “She started the year playing outside defense and played herself in a midfield position,” said Jandt. “Her growth as a player allowed the team to make changes when needed and did not miss a beat. Ayshia plays wherever the team needs her and shows success even in uncomfortable situations.”
