MADISON, Wis. – No member of the Wisconsin women's soccer program has ever garnered three All-America honors in their career, until now.
Rose Lavelle has made history, earning her third-consecutive All-America honor after the National Soccer Coaches Association of America announced that the UW midfielder was named to the All-America second team.
Lavelle earns the award after she recorded a team-leading 16 points, six goals, 74 shots, 31 shots on goal and two game-winning goals. Additionally, she ranked second on the team with four assists on the year.
The Cincinnati, Ohio, native saw action in all 22 games this season with an average of 3.36 shots per game and 0.73 points per game.
Lavelle has garnered many other awards this season, including being named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch list and being ranked as the No. 1 preseason player of the year by TopDrawerSoccer.
Most notably, she was named Big Ten Midfielder of the Year for the second-consecutive season, becoming the first student-athlete to earn the honor in back-to-back years since its debut in 2011. Lavelle concluded her collegiate career as a four-time first-team All-Big Ten selection.
Additionally, earlier Lavelle was named to the Senior CLASS Award second team on Friday.
