Wednesday, December 24, 2008 | Soccer
Two University of Florida soccer players are part of the 2008 National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas Scholar All-America team. Senior Megan Kerns and junior Lauren Hyde both appear on the third team and they are the first UF players to appear on the NSCAA/adidas Scholar All-America team since Stacy Bishop earned her second consecutive honor in 2007.
Hyde was named to the All-SEC second team as a junior and also was a third-team selection to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Season. A center back for the Gators, she played the entirety of 17 matches in 2008. She and Kerns also both appeared on the 2008 NSCAA/adidas All-Southeast Region third team.

Junior defender Caitlin Howard is a third-team selection and junior midfielder Angela Napolitano is an honorable mention selection. Howard started every match on the Gator backline, leading the Gators with her average of 87.3 minutes per mach. She turned in two assists in 2008, including the assist on Ameera Abdullah's game-winning goal in Florida's 2-1 win versus California in the NCAA First Round. Napolitano turned in collegiate-highs for goals (5) and assists (3) to finish fifth among the 2008 Gators with 13 points. She started 21 matches as a junior and turned in two goals versus Nebraska for her first multi-goal match as a Gator.
