UW-Milwaukee senior forward Sarah Hagen (Appleton North) was named to the All White Kit Preseason All-American team.

Hagen, who has 67 goals in 65 career matches, is one of seven seniors on the inaugural AWK team chosen by writer Chris Henderson.

The U.S. Under-23 international needs eight goals this season to break into the top 25 in NCAA Division I history. If Hagen maintains her average of 1.03 goals per game for her career, she would rank 16th in Division I history, tied with current U.S. national team standout Abby Wambach of Florida.

• Hagen and freshman Morgan LaPlant (Madison La Follette) scored first-half goals as the Panthers beat Northwestern 2-1 in an exhibition opener Monday afternoon in Evanston, Ill. LaPlant, one of four freshmen in the starting lineup for UWM, picked up a deflected ball in the box, dribbled in and finished to the far post in the 20th minute. Hagen doubled the lead about 20 minutes later with a header off a cross from Helen Steinhauser. Nine freshmen played for the Panthers, who have their annual alumni game Saturday and play host to Northern Illinois in their exhibition finale Sunday.
