Trinity International (Ill.) forward Samantha Yasatan (Racine Case) continues to reap the rewards for her record-breaking season.
The junior, who scored a program-record 29 goals for the Trojans this fall, was named to the third team of the NAIA All-American team. She's the first Trinity player to earn that honor since Rachel Verhoef back in 1999.
Yasatan, who was an honorable mention All-American last year, ranked fourth in the country in goals and added nine assists in helping the Trojans (14-4-2) earn their second consecutive NAIA national tournament berth – they lost to The Master's (Calif.) 4-1 in a first-round match last month.
Teammate Morgan Elzinga (Wisconsin Rapids) earned honorable mention All-America honors, as did Viterbo forward Molly Machometa.
Elzinga, a junior midfielder, ranked fifth in the country with 13 assists and was second on the team with 16 goals – eight of those were game-winners, the third-best total in the nation. Machometa ranked fifth in the NAIA with 24 goals (seven game-winners) and added four assists in her stellar junior season.
