Hall of Fame
After making the transition to NCAA Division II, the women's soccer program wasted no time getting in on the action, becoming the first team in any sport to make an appearance in the NCAA-II National Tournament. The Cardinals, coached by Jefferson Roblee, went 15-3-3 overall and 11-1-3 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference to finish second in the regular season standings. Jewell won 11 of their first 12 games of the season and were 13-1 leading up to the GLVC Tournament. During their first run in the postseason tournament, they defeated Lewis and Bellarmine by identical 1-0 scores before falling by the same to top-seed and No. 21 ranked Quincy in the title game. Despite the loss, the Cardinals received at large bid to the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional where they took on Wisconsin Parkside, falling 2-0. This team was led offensively by Sarah Franklin's 16 goals and four assists while Kelli Sontag held down the goal to the tune of 90 saves and nine shutouts. Franklin was named the GLVC Offensive Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was joined on the All-GLVC First Team by Justine Dover, Kate Beaver, and Ashley Licata. This team still holds NCAA era records for points, goals, assists, shots, shots on goal, shutouts, and goals against average and become the third women's soccer team inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining the 2003 and 2010 squads.
