LOS ANGELES -- Senior defender Callie Taylor was named to both the 2015 National Soccer Coaches Association of America NCAA DI and DII Women's Scholar All-West Region First Team and the 2015 NSCAA NCAA DI and DII Women's Scholar All-American Third Team, the association announced Thursday.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that LMU women's soccer has had representatives on the Scholar All-West Region Team and the first time since 2012 that they have placed a Lion on the All-American Team. Whitney Sharpe became the first-ever Lion to achieve the Scholar All-American honor in 2012.
Taylor, who was also named a West Coast Conference All-Academic Honorable Mention selection, carries a 3.34 cumulative GPA as she pursues a degree in Health and Human Sciences.
On the pitch, the Long Beach, Calif., native was named the West Coast Conference Co-Defender of the Year and was a second team All-WCC selection. She anchored the Lion defense all season long as LMU gave up just a 1.01 goals against average and posted 12 shutouts, one shy of the all-time program record. Taylor also stepped up front for a number of set pieces, scoring a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the Lions' 1-0 shutout of Cal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 2015 LMU women's soccer season concluded in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. The Lions finished 15-6-1 overall and 7-2-0 in WCC play, setting program records for overall wins and league wins along the way.
