EMORY’S GRACE LAM NAMED TO THE NSCAA/ ADIDAS ALL-AMERICA THIRD TEAM
[Defender for Sir Alex]
(Dec. 17) Emory University defender Grace Lam was selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/ adidas Division III All-America third team, based on her performance during the 2007 season.
Lam becomes the 13th all-American in the program’s history, and the first Eagle to garner the honor since Annie Schenck and Andrea Pawliczek [former CRU Goalkeeper] were named all-Americans in 2001. The junior is the seventh underclassmen in school history to be named an all-American, and joins Bethe Segars (1989), Diana Spock (1993 and 1995) and Amy Perhach (1998) as the Emory defenders who have received the honor.
Lam anchored an Emory defense that recorded 13 shutouts and a goals-against average of 0.48 for the season, the 11th-best mark in the country. She helped Emory hold their opponents to just over three shots on goal per match, and outscore teams 47-10 during the season. Lam also contributed on the offensive end, scoring a career-best four goals. Earlier in the year, Lam was named to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) first team.
Lam’s play helped the Eagles to a 16-2-2 record in 2007, as Emory finished the season ranked 14th in Division III. The Eagles advanced to the round of 16 in the 2007 NCAA Division III tournament.
