WLAX All-NWC

Five Wildcats named to All-NWC teams

After securing the program's most wins (eight) under head coach Sarah Dalsey, five Linfield players have been selected to the All-Northwest Conference teams in a release by the conference on Tuesday afternoon. Gabby Crist and Grayce Miller received first team selections while Savannah Irwin, Maizri Chandler and Tenley Hodge were selected to the honorable mention list.
 
Crist returns to the All-NWC selections after being named to the second team a season ago and the honorable mention team two seasons ago. She took charge for the Wildcats this season, leading them to their first NWC Tournament appearance in program history. The junior scored the second most goals in a match in program history twice this season with 10 against Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran. Hailing from Lake Oswego, Oregon, Crist totaled 63 goals, 19 assists, 34 caused turnovers and 35 ground balls.
 
Miller also makes her return with another All-NWC selection after being named to the honorable mention list last year and the first team two seasons ago. She captained Linfield's defense with a team-high 46 ground balls, fifth most in the conference. The junior totaled two goals on the offensive end to go with 46 ground balls and 30 caused turnovers while starting in all 16 matches.
 
Irwin received her first All-NWC selection this season after her best season in a Linfield uniform. The junior from Mountain View High School was Linfield's best distributor, racking up 34 assists in 2025, good for third most in the Northwest Conference. She also racked up 30 goals, 27 caused turnovers and 41 ground balls.
 
Chandler makes her first appearance on the all-conference awards after a strong junior season. She finished the season with 25 goals, scoring four in a single match twice against Whitworth and Pacific Lutheran. The Scappoose High School product contributed 23 assists for 48 total points, five caused turnovers and 12 ground balls.
 
Hodge stood tall in goal for the Wildcats all season, earning her first All-NWC selection. She totaled 810 minutes and tallied 91 saves and a .379 save percentage. The junior from Beaverton set a new career mark against Whitworth with 18 saves, 11th most in a single match in program history.
