HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. — Fort Lewis College women's soccer player
Erika Shisler received Daktronics All-America honorable mention, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced today.
“Shisler was definitely the catalyst to the success of our season,” said fourth-year head coach
Damian Clarke. “A number of our game-winning goals in the first seven games were set up by her foot.”
She becomes just the second All-American in the program's history, joining Jamie MacArthur, a midfielder who was chosen to the All-America third team by both sports information directors (Daktronics) and Division II women's soccer coaches (NSCAA) in 2009.
Shisler, a 5-foot-3 senior midfielder from Durango, ranks among the Skyhawks' all-time leaders in appearances (first, 89), assists (second, 21), total points (fourth, 63) and goals (fifth, 21). During 2010, she notched 18 total points (three goals, 12 assists).
She set a new Fort Lewis single-season record with 12 assists in 2010. She led the entire
Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in assists (12) and assists per game (0.52). She also ranked among RMAC leaders in points (12th, 18), points per game (15th, 0.78) and goals (30th, three).
Shisler was named to the All-Central Region first team by both sports information directors (Daktronics) and Division II women's soccer coaches (NSCAA/Performance Subaru) in 2010. She was also a second team All-RMAC selection earlier this fall after being named third team All-RMAC in 2008.
The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. This is the fifth year Daktronics has sponsored the NCAA Division II women's soccer All-America and all-region teams.
Sports information directors from schools and conferences sponsoring women's soccer selected the Daktronics All-America teams. The process began at the regional level with all first team all-region picks advancing to the national ballot.
Fort Lewis had the most successful season in the 17-year history of its women's soccer program in 2010. The Skyhawks went 18-3-2 overall and 12-1-1 in the RMAC, establishing new school standards for single-season success. FLC also won its first ever RMAC regular season women's soccer championship, its first-ever NCAA Division II Central Region title, advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA playoffs, and climbed to No. 3 in the national rankings, its highest-ever ranking.
