The Lee University women’s soccer team goes into the national semifinals in Pittsburgh tonight with senior forward Mia Hollingsworth as a 2018 All-American. She was named Wednesday to the United Soccer Coaches Association’s All-America third team for NCAA Division II. Despite missing several games while recovering from a concussion, the four-year captain has scored 14 goals this season, including the overtime winner in a postseason defeat of No. 2-ranked West Florida and the tying shot in the eventual win over Mississippi College the next game. West Florida and No. 3 Columbus State were undefeated when the Lady Flames (17-6-1) edged them 1-0 to move on in the NCAA tournament, and tonight at 8 they challenge undefeated and top-ranked Grand Valley State (24-0-1). The Lakers won NCAA titles from 2013 to 2015 and beat the 2017 champion 6-1 in this year’s quarterfinal round.
* Sewanee senior Kyle Johnston made the USCA’s Division III All-South Atlantic Region third team after his fourth all-conference selection. The Baylor School graduate from the town of Sewanee scored 11 goals in 2018 with four-game winners. He totaled 27 goals and eight assists in his Tigers career.
