She was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week (Oct. 28) after registering a shutout over fifth-ranked Penn State. The Marlton, New Jersey, native competed at the U.S. U21 Championship in 2014.
Ackers (B/MF), a native of White Haven, Pennsylvania, started all 18 games for the Hawkeyes a year ago as a sophomore totaling 11 points on two goals and a team-best seven assists.
