2019 D3SOCCER.COM WOMEN'S ALL-AMERICA TEAMS
2019 UNITED SOCCER COACHES DIVISION III WOMEN'S SOCCER ALL-AMERICA TEAMS

MINNEAPOLIS -- For the second straight year, Augsburg University's Ashley St. Aubin (SR, Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville HS) was named to the D3soccer.com Women's Soccer All-America Team, repeating as a second-team forward, it was announced recently. In addition, she was also named to the United Soccer Coaches Division III Scholar All-America team for the second straight year, this year as a first-team forward.

The honors are the latest in what has been an incredible year for St. Aubin. In December, she became the first Auggie women's soccer player to ever earn three United Soccer Coaches (formerly National Soccer Coaches Association of America) All-America honors, earning first-team honors this season, third-team honors in 2018 (third team) and second-team honors in 2017 (second team). She also earned D3soccer.com All-America second-team honors in 2018. 

St. Aubin was the lone Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference player this season to earn All-America honors from D3soccer.com, a website that covers NCAA Division III men's and women's soccer. A total of 33 players were named to the D3soccer.com All-America squads -- three forwards, four midfielders, three defenders and a goalkeeper on each of three teams.

Augsburg women's soccer players have now earned All-American honors nine times in program history; in addition to St. Aubin, Emily Gregg '17 was a NSCAA second-team and D3soccer.com third-team honoree in 2016, Marie Fitzgerald '16 was a NSCAA third-team honoree in 2015 and Molly Allen '15 was a NSCAA third-team honoree in 2014.

A mathematics major with a 3.82 grade-point average, St. Aubin earned College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District and Academic All-America honors, in addition to being named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar-All-North/Central Region team. St. Aubin is the first Augsburg women's soccer player to earn multiple United Soccer Coaches Scholar-All-America honors, and it's the sixth time since 2014 that an Auggie women's soccer player has earned the award.

To earn United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Region honors, student-athletes must have a 3.30 or better cumulative GPA, must be a junior academically (or if a transfer, have completed one full academic year at their current institution), and have started at least 50 percent of their team's games, while also significantly contributing to their teams. 

St. Aubin made conference history in her final collegiate campaign, breaking the conference's 25-year-old record for career goals and tying a 32-year-old conference record for career points. She finished her career with school records for both goals (71) and points (173), adding 31 assists (second in Augsburg history). The old MIAC record of 69 goals was set in 1994 by Macalester's Jenny Scanlon (1991-94), and the old league points record of 173 (62 goals, 49 assists) was set in 1987 by Heidi Campbell of Saint Mary's (1984-87).

She became one of just 17 players in conference women's soccer history to earn All-MIAC honors all four years of their careers, when she was named to the All-MIAC squad last month. St. Aubin was named the MIAC's Offensive Player of the Year in 2017 and the league's Rookie of the Year in 2016. On Monday, she became the first Augsburg women's soccer player ever to earn United Soccer Coaches All-Region honors all four years of her career, when she was named a first-team forward for the third straight year, after earning second-team honors in 2016.

For the fourth straight season, St. Aubin led the MIAC's overall statistics in both goals (18) and total points (42), her fourth straight season with 36 or more points. Her nine assists were tied for second-most among league players. She recorded a goal or assist in 18 of Augsburg's 21 games this season. St. Aubin scored at least one goal in 55 games in her 83-game career, and the Auggies were 48-6-1 when she scored a goal.

Under 21st-year head coach Mike Navarre, the Auggies returned to the NCAA Division III national tournament for the third time in a six-year span, after winning a share of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season title and reaching the conference playoff title game for the fifth time in the last eight seasons. Augsburg finished the 2019 season with a 15-4-2 overall record and 9-1-1 mark in MIAC play, marking the eighth straight year of double-digit victories and the sixth straight year earning eight or more conference wins. St. Aubin led a senior class that combined for a 59-20-4 (.735) overall and 33-8-3 (.784) MIAC record in its four seasons, with two MIAC regular-season championships (2017, 2019), an MIAC playoff title (2016), three MIAC playoff title game appearances (2016, 2018, 2019) and two NCAA Division III national tournament appearances (2016, 2019).
