2017 UNITED SOCCER COACHES DIVISION III WOMEN'S SOCCER ALL-AMERICA TEAM

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg University women's soccer forward Ashley St. Aubin (SO, Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville HS) was named to the United Soccer Coaches Division III All-America Team on Thursday as a second-team honoree.

St. Aubin was one of only six sophomores to be named to the 46-member All-America squad, divided into a 15-member first team, 16-member second team and 15-member third team. The awards were announced on Thursday in conjunction with the NCAA Division III men's and women's soccer championships, being held in Greensboro, N.C., this weekend, and will be formally awarded at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Philadelphia, Pa., on Jan. 20, 2018.

The 2017 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Year on Offense, St. Aubin is one of only two MIAC players to earn United Soccer Coaches Division III All-America women's soccer honors; the MIAC's Player of the Year on Defense, Gustavus goalkeeper Ashley Becker, was named to the All-America first team.

It's the fourth straight year that Augsburg has had a player earn United Soccer Coaches (formerly National Soccer Coaches Association of America) All-America women's soccer honors. Molly Allen was a third-team selection in 2014, Marie Fitzgerald was a third-team selection in 2015 and Emily Gregg was a second-team selection in 2016.

The award is the latest for St. Aubin, who was named on Tuesday to the United Soccer Coaches All-North Region first team, and was earlier named to the All-MIAC team. She has also earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors this season. Last year, St. Aubin earned All-MIAC and MIAC Rookie of the Year honors, in addition to being named to the NSCAA All-North Region second team.

In 2017, St. Aubin continued her career as the conference's most dynamic scorer, leading the MIAC's overall statistics for the second straight year in both goals (16) and points (36), adding four assists. In MIAC games-only, her 11 goals and 26 points were also tops, with her four assists tied for second-most. She had a goal or assist in 12 of Augsburg's 18 games, with the Auggies 11-0-1 in those games. She had five multi-goal and seven multi-point games this season.

Her 16 goals scored this season tied her 2016 total for the third-most in a single season in school history, with her 36 points tied for fifth-most. In her 41 career games, St. Aubin now has 32 goals and 11 assists for 75 points, including 15 game-winning goals. Her 75 career points are sixth-most in Augsburg history, with her 32 goals fourth-most.

Under 19th-year head coach Mike Navarre, Augsburg finished 12-4-2 overall, 8-1-2 in MIAC play in 2017, winning the MIAC's regular-season title for the second time in the last four years. The Auggies reached the MIAC postseason playoffs for the fourth straight season, fifth time in the last six years and ninth time in program history. The Auggies have finished with double-figure win totals each of the last six years, and eight or more wins in 14 of the last 16 campaigns.
