Emily Rhoades named to NSCAA All-Southeast Region second team

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The Newberry College women’s soccer team earned another accolade after one of the best seasons in program history, as Emily Rhoades was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Women's Division II All-Southeast Region second team today.

Rhoades, a sophomore goalkeeper from Buckley, Wash., becomes the first Newberry women’s soccer player to make the NSCAA team since Inga Woiwode was named to the second team in 2007. Rhoades finished the year with a 13-5-2 record, a goals against average of 0.70 and save percentage of .851, as well as compiling nine shutouts through the season.

Her nine shutouts and 0.70 GAA set new Newberry single-season records, and her 14 career shutouts also set a new career mark for the scarlet and gray. Her 0.92 career GAA is also the current career best in school history.

Rhoades was also named to the All-South Atlantic Conference first team earlier this year.
