STANFORD, Calif. – Three Stanford players earned All-America honors, tied for the most selections of any program in the country, as announced Friday by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Andi Sullivan and Maddie Bauer were named to the first team, while Jane Campbell earned second team honors. It is the second consecutive year Sullivan has been named to the first team. It is the first All-America honors for Bauer and Campbell.
Stanford's three selections ties West Virginia, South Carolina and Florida State for the most honors in the country. It is the 11th time in program history the team has had multiple All-Americans in the same season and the first time since 2012.
The trio co-captained Stanford to its second consecutive Pac-12 title and an 18-2-1 record – the team's 11th consecutive season with 15 or more victories. The Cardinal has won six of the past eight conference titles. Stanford earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
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.

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.
