NAPERVILLE, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University men's soccer team was represented by senior Zack Kokes (Naperville, Ill) and junior Dane Hoare (Chicago, Ill.-Von Steuben) as the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin announced its postseason teams Tuesday, Nov. 2. Both Kokes and Hoare garnered Second Team All-CCIW honors, the first postseason accolade in each of their careers.
