ºüÀêÊÓƵ University forward Emily Gaebe, who set a program record with 16 goals and 41 points this season, is the second SLU player to be selected as a first-team All-America by the United Soccer Coaches.
Gaebe followed defender Lyndsey Heckel, who made the first team in 2022 and was picked for the second team this season.
The junior from Union, Mo., was also named this week as a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy, which goes to the top player in the country in women’s soccer.
Gaebe’s goal production skyrocketed when she was moved into the starting lineup at midseason. She had a 10-game stretch with 12 goals. She finished the season with a career-high nine assists and helped the Billikens become the third-highest scoring team in the country.
Heckel was a piece of a defense that led the country with 15 shutouts and limited opponents shots on a regular basis.
