Jennifer (Tischaefer) Ignacio was a member of UW-La Crosse’s women’s soccer team from 1996-99 and received All-WIAC First Team recognition all four seasons. In 1996, she helped the Eagles claim conference regular-season and tournament titles, both firsts in program history. In 1999, she was named the WIAC Judy Kruckman Women’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete.
Ignacio matched a conference single-game record with six assists against Viterbo University (Wis.) on Oct. 2, 1996, and is tied for second with five goals against UW-Superior on Oct. 23, 1999. She owns school records with 68 career goals and 172 career points – and both totals rank fourth in WIAC history. In 1997, Ignacio established single-season school marks with 19 goals and 50 points, and matched the goal record again during the 1999 campaign.
In 2012, she was selected to the WIAC Women’s Soccer All-Time Team in conjunction with the conference’s Centennial Celebration and inducted into UW-La Crosse’s Wall of Fame.
Ignacio earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and middle school education and resides in Gilbert, Ariz.
