Clayton State's Alicia Robinson Named First-Team NSCAA All-America
December 10, 2013
MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State women's soccer player Alicia Robinson led the Lakers to the Peach Belt Conference regular season and PBC Tournament Championships in 2013, and she has received another honor following her fine senior season.Â
A midfielder from Telford, England, Robinson was named to the first team National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-America team. She was also named to the Daktronics All-America squad and was named to both All-Region squads earlier this month.
"We are thrilled to have Alicia (Robinson) recognized as a first team All- American," said head coach Gareth O'Sullivan. "She is worthy of the award and has really helped put the program back on the map."
The All-American recognition for Robinson is only the third time a Clayton State women's soccer player has received the honor. Nkiru Okosieme was named All-American in 2004 and Olaitan Yusuf received the honor in both 2004 and 2005.
The 2013 Peach Belt Player of the Year, Robinson led the league with 10 assists on the season and initiated the Clayton State offense that led the PBC in goals scored with 48 on the year. A team captain, Robinson was also named to the 2012 NSCAA All-Region team and was an All-PBC performer last year.
Along with capturing both PBC titles in 2013, the Laker squad advanced to the 2013 NCAA Division II Women's Soccer National Championships and entered the tournament ranked 11th in the nation.
