COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Four Lindsey Wilson College women's soccer players earned All-American honors from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the national office announced on Dec. 5.
Senior forward Yolanda Hamilton was named a first team All-American, while senior goalkeeper Carrie Revlett and freshman midfielder Mia Persson were named to the second team. Sophomore midfielder Ida Gregersen was an honorable-mention selection.
Hamilton -- the Mid-South Conference Player of the Year -- has received All-American honors from the NAIA all four years of her career at Lindsey Wilson. This is the first selection to the first team for the St. Thomas, Jamaica native. Hamilton finished the season ranked ninth in the NAIA in total points with 53, 10th in total goals (20) and 11th in total assists (13).
Revlett wrapped up her Blue Raider career as one of the most prolific keepers in program history. The Shelbyville, Ky., native tallied 14 shutouts this season, giving her a program-best 42 for her career. This season, Revlett allowed 11 goals in 22 games for a .496 goals-against average with 54 saves.
Revlett appeared in 22 games this season, pushing her career mark to a program-best 74. The previous career record for keepers was 52 games, achieved by current assistant coach Debbie McGuinness. Revlett was an honorable-mention choice the past two seasons.
In just one season with the Blue Raiders, the newcomer Persson has already made a lasting impression. Persson ranked 25th in the country in total goals with 17 and 36th in total points with 38. On Oct. 6, Persson was named the NAIA Offensive Player of the Week after netting six goals and an assist in just two games.
Gregersen -- a second-team choice last season -- ranked 40th in the NAIA in total assists this season with nine. The sophomore finished third on the team with 12 goals to record 33 points on the season.
Lindsey Wilson wrapped up its 2009 campaign in the quarterfinals of the NAIA National Tournament where they fell 2-0 to Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.) University on Dec. 2. The Blue Raiders posted a 19-3-2 record and were ranked No. 1 in the final NAIA Poll of the season.
As well as appearing in its ninth straight national tournament, Lindsey Wilson won its eighth straight MSC Tournament Championship and 10th consecutive regular-season championship.
