KANSAS CITY, Mo. – United Soccer Coaches has announced Sarah Foley to its NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Forwards to Watch List on Tuesday (Aug. 12).
Foley begins her senior season in 2025 after a career year in her junior campaign. She was named to All-Big Ten Second-Team honors and tallied career-best marks in goals (11), shots (33), shots on goal (22) and game-winning goals (6). Her 11 goals and 24 points were both the most in a single season by an Illini since 2015. Additionally, her six game-winners were the most in a single season by an Illini since Vanessa DiBernardo had eight in 2011.

The lists are compiled and released by the Division I All-America Committees to promote college soccer leading up to the official start date for the regular season later this month. The lists include United Soccer Coaches All-Americans and All-Region players from 2024 who are scheduled to return for the 2025 season.
