Three Mid-Continent Conference women’s soccer players were named to the 2005 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Women’s Soccer team announced by CoSIDA. Oral Roberts senior forward Jessica Kellogg was named to the District VI second team while Southern Utah senior defender Liz Browning and junior midfielder Ashley Smith were named to the District VIII second team.

Kellogg, a math education major, finished her Golden Eagles career as one of the most prolific players in Mid-Con history. A four-time first team all-conference selection, two-time academic all-conference selection and the 2004 Offensive Player of the Year, the Tulsa, Okla. native ended her career tops in Mid-Con history in goals (48) and points (114). Her point total makes her the first women’s soccer player in league history to reach the 100 point plateau.

Browning, who owns a 3.90 GPA in physical education, also served as co-captain and started in all 17 matches in 2005. The Ogden, Utah native anchored a Thunderbird defense that put together their best overall effort in the five-year history of the program. SUU broke school records and led the Mid-Con in fewest goals allowed (16), shutouts (6) and goals against average (0.86). Browning is also a two-time academic All Mid-Con honoree.

Smith, who carries a 4.00 GPA in athletic training, started in all 17 games as Thunderbird co-captain and had one goal and an assist to her credit. A native of Nibley, Utah, Smith attempted 40 shots for the season, including 21 on goal, which ranks her third and fourth, respectively, on the club. Smith earned first team all-Mid-Continent Conference honors last season after leading SUU in scoring with 11 points on four goals and three assists. In addition, she has earned academic All-Conference recognition.
