The postseason honors continue for the Kansas soccer players.

Freshman defender Afton Sauer was chosen to be a Freshman All-American in the February issue of Soccer America magazine. Last month, Sauer was also selected as a third-team Freshman All-American by SoccerBuzz magazine. The Big 12 Conference also selected Sauer to the second team All-Conference and All-Freshman team honors following the season.

This honor is one of the many that the Jayhawk soccer program has received after finishing with its best record in school history.

The Jayhawks’ defense this season was one of the best in the nation. It only allowed 13 goals all season and finished ninth in the nation with a team goals-against average of 55 percent.

Defensive skills are Sauer’s specialties, but this season she scored two goals; one of them was a game-winning goal against Texas Tech on Oct. 1. Sauer helped lead Kansas to a school record, and she will be back next year to help the Jayhawks progress as a soccer program in Division I athletics.
