Freshman Jordan Calhoun was honored on Saturday by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America as a third-team NCAA Division I All-Central Region selection, while the TCU women's soccer program received word that for the third-consecutive year the squad was recognized with the NSCAA Team Academic Award.
Calhoun, who was named Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year in 2008, was recently selected to Top Drawer Soccer's second-team All-Rookie squad. The Norman, Okla., native, netted 15 goals during the 2008 season, while dishing out two assists. With her 15 goals, the first-team all-conference selection, who became TCU's all-time leader in goals scored during a single-season, helped lead the Horned Frogs to a 14-4-2 record and season-high national ranking of No. 28.
Last month, Calhoun was recognized as one of the top-32 players in the nation by Soccer News Net. She is currently a finalist for the Soccer News Net Player of the Year Award.
Overall, Calhoun netted six game-winning goals on the season, while also scoring the equalizing goal in matches against Texas, Texas Tech and Ole Miss. Finally, she finished the 2008 season ranked first in the Mountain West Conference in points, points per game, goals, goals per game and game-winning goals during her freshman campaign.
To be eligible for the NSCAA Team Academic Award a team must have a team GPA of at least 3.0 for the 2007-08 academic year.
