HOME OF BULLDOG WOMEN'S SOCCER - 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008 SCIAC Champions

Junior defender Chelsea Hafley (Redlands, CA) of the University of Redlands women’s soccer team gained National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) NCAA Division III Third-Team All-America honors, as announced today by the NSCAA.

Hafley continues to pile up awards this season. Yesterday, she received her inaugural NSCAA First-Team All-West Region citation. Hafley’s excellence during the 2009 season has also earned her First-Team All-Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) honors and ESPN The Magazine/College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District VIII Second-Team laurels.

She started in all 18 games as a defender for the Bulldogs, putting away five goals while adding two assists for a total of 12 points. Hafley competed on a back line that contributed to eight shutouts and held the opposition to 0.83 goals per game.

Hafley joins an elite club of student-athletes with this honor. She stands as just the sixth Bulldog women’s soccer player since 2001 to grace the NSCAA All-America teams. The Maroon and Gray has had an All-America honoree every season since 2004.

This marks her inaugural All-America recognition.

Redlands (11-7, 9-3 SCIAC) finished the season ranked second in the conference, which marked the 14th straight year that the Bulldogs have finished third or better in the SCIAC.
