NSCAA All-Pacific Region Teams Opens in a new window

STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford players earned five National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Pacific Region honors, as announced this week by the organization.
 
Maddie Bauer, Jane Campbell and Andi Sullivan were named to the first team, while Jordan DiBiasi earned second-team recognition and Kyra Carusa picked up third-team honors.
 
The Cardinal's three first-team selections and five all-region honors overall are the most of any team in the Pacific region. It is the second consecutive season five Cardinal players have been recognized and the eighth time in the past nine years at least three players have been named to the first team.
 
Bauer, an international relations major, started every game at center defender in 2016 and helped Stanford register nine shutouts and limit opponents to 0.79 goals per game. She anchored the Cardinal's defense that held opponents to one goal or fewer in 73-of-88 games during her career.
 
Bauer is a 2016 MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist, three-time NSCAA All-Pacific Region first team and four-time All-Pac-12 selection, including being named to the first team in 2016. She is a 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-American and a 2015 NSCAA Scholar All-American – the only Pac-12 player named to either of those teams. Bauer was also named a 2016 Senior CLASS Award Top-30 finalist.

Campbell completed her career as one of the most accomplished goalkeepers in Stanford history and earned a call-up to the senior U.S. women's national team during the season. She ranks in the top-five in multiple Stanford career categories, including minutes played (1st, 7431:34), shutouts (t-1st, 35), saves (t-3rd, 210) and goals-against average (5th, 0.65).
 
Campbell is a three-time All-Pacific region selection, three-time All-Pac-12 and the 2015 Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year. She registered 14 shutouts in 2014, which is tied for the second-most in Stanford single season history and 16th in NCAA Division I history.

Jane Campbell has established her place among Stanford's all-time great goalkeepers.

Sullivan, a management science and engineering major, had a career year with the Cardinal and was the only collegiate player in the country called into multiple senior U.S. Women's National Team camps during the season, making four starts with the team.
 
Sullivan registered career highs and led Stanford in points (29), goals (11) and game-winning goals (4). She was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist for the second straight year, Pac-12 Player of the Year and earned All-Pac-12 first team honors for the third consecutive season.

Andi Sullivan shares her Stanford experience.

DiBiasi tied for second among Stanford players with seven goals this season and was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention. She did most of her damage against top opponents with six of her seven goals coming against opponents who participated in the NCAA Tournament. Six of DiBiasi's 12 career goals have been game winners and five of those six game-winners have come against ranked opponents.

Jordan DiBiasi scored the game-winning goal against No. 22 Colorado (Oct. 20).

Kyra Carusa led Stanford and the Pac-12 with 10 assists – a single-season career high for the redshirt sophomore. She registered at least one point in 14-of-21 games this year and was an All-Pac-12 second team selection. Carusa was a workhorse for the Cardinal in the central forward position and exceled at holding possession, distributing and creating her own shot.

Kyra Carusa was a constant dangerous threat in the final third.

All five players are eligible for NSCAA All-America honors, which will be announced in December.
