Truman (Mo.) State University women’s soccer player Katie Reuck has been named a third-team all-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). The senior was a first-team NSCAA all-region selection and becomes the program’s first all-American since 2004.
Reuck (Jacksonville, Ill.; Jacksonville) finished her three-year Truman career with 20 goals after transferring from Rockhurst (Mo.) University prior to her sophomore season. She ranks 10th all-time in Bulldog scoring history and finished with 50 career points, adding ten assists to her 20 goals scored.
As a senior, she finished third on the squad with five goals and added three assists on the way to picking up first-team all-MIAA and second-team Daktronics all-region honors. Reuck was named to the all-MIAA first-team each of her three seasons in Kirksville and was a unanimous choice by conference coaches this season.
Reuck was the only player from the MIAA and was just one of three from the South Central region to earn all-American status this season. She becomes the seventh Bulldog to earn all-American status and the first since a trio of players – Sara Murray, Anna Sonderman and Lauren Davis – did so following the 2004 season.
Truman finished the 2009 season with a 15-4-3 overall record and received votes in the final top-25 coaches’ poll of the season. The Bulldogs defeated Nebraska-Omaha, 1-0, in the first round of the NCAA tournament before falling by the same score to sub-region host West Texas A&M in the second round.
The NSCAA All-America selections will be recognized at the annual All-America Luncheon, held in Philadelphia, Pa., on Jan. 16 as part of the 2010 NSCAA Convention.
