KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Fort Lewis College women's soccer player
Hayley Hollenga was named to the NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-America second team, the NSCAA announced today.
Hollenga becomes just the third Skyhawk women's soccer player to receive All-America honors.
Erika Shisler received Daktronics All-America honorable mention last Friday, while Jamie MacArthur was chosen to the Daktronics All-America third team in 2009.
The NSCAA/Performance Subaru teams are chosen by head coaches; the Daktronics teams are chosen by sports information directors.
“Hayley is probably the most complete player that's ever been in the program,” said fourth-year head coach
Damian Clarke. “Also, she was just a fantastic leader throughout the year and one of the overall best athletes that you're ever going to find.”
Hollenga, a 5-foot-8 junior forward from Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, is the Skyhawks' all-time leader in total points (88) and assists (22) and ranks second in career goals (33) behind Carissa Bradford (1995-99) and Kate Mahler (2003-06), each of whom had 34 markers during their respective careers.
2010 has seen Hollenga amass a wealth of recognition. She was named to both the NSCAA/Performance Subaru and Daktronics All-Central Region first teams. She was also named to the All-
Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, Academic All-RMAC and Preseason All-RMAC first teams, the RMAC All-Tournament Team, was the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 14, and became the first woman athlete in FLC history to be listed in
Sports Illustrated's “Faces in the Crowd” (Sept. 30).
She led the RMAC in game-winning goals (six) and ranked third in the league in goals (13), goals per game (0.65), points, 28) and points per game (1.40).
Voting for the NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-America teams was done by head coaches at NCAA Division II women's soccer-playing schools. The players will be honored at the annual All-America Luncheon, to be held at the Hilton Baltimore Hotel on Saturday, Jan. 15, as part of the 2011 NSCAA Convention.
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. The Skyhawks finished No. 7 in the final NSCAA/HendrickCars.com poll, also released today.
