They were key factors in the Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team making it all the way to the Final Four of the NAIA National Tournament. Because of their accomplishments, Jamie Brandon, Samantha Wright, and Natalia Sepulveda were named to the NAIA All-American Team.
Brandon was a first-team selection. She knocked in 21 goals this season, including the game-winner in the 2–1 overtime win over William Carey in the national tournament. She also had 11 assists for a grand total of 53 points.
Sepulveda also made the All-American first team. She anchored a defense that allowed two or more goals in just four of Riddle’s 24 games.
Wright, who made the second team, was the backbone of the Lady Eagle offense, registering 15 assists this past season. She also notched seven goals for Embry-Riddle, who were ranked number three in the NAIA’s end-of-season national poll.
