Their stellar play earned them big honors. Two players from the Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team were named to the NAIA All-American Team. Rae Yoshioka was a second-team selection. It’s the third time the Pearl City, Hawaii, native was named an All-American. This season, Yoshioka recorded 11 goals and 10 assists. She was also named to the United Soccer Coaches All-American Team and the All-Great Southwest Athletic Conference Team.
Keeper Annabelle Ruckle made the All-American third team. She led the conference in goals-against average with a 0.504 mark and was tied for first in the conference in shutouts with nine. Ruckle also made 71 saves. This is the second time in Ruckle’s Riddle career she has been named an NAIA All-American.
Yoshioka’s and Ruckle’s contributions helped the Lady Eagles win the GSAC title.
