NSCAA Division III All-America Team

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second year in a row, senior goalie Eliza Gray (South Orange, N.J./Columbia) of the Gettysburg College women's team was recognized as one of the top players in the nation, earning her second-consecutive selection to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division III All-America Team, it was announced Thursday evening.
 
After collecting third-team recognition last year, Gray landed first-team accolades this season. She received the highest honor for any goalie in Division III as the lone first-team selection.
 
Gray becomes just the fourth Bullet in program history to earn multiple NSCAA All-America honors and the first since Whitney Jackson '01 (2000, 1998). She is also just the third Bullet to be named NSCAA First-Team All-American and the first since Liz Feldhusen '05 in 2004.
 
After turning in an outstanding senior campaign, Gray also received First-Team NSCAA All-Mid-Atlantic Region, First Team All-Centennial Conference, and Centennial Conference Player of the Year accolades. She broke Gettysburg single-season records for shutouts (12), goals-against average (0.31), and save percentage (.889) while leading the conference in all three categories. For the season, she yielded just six goals over 18 matches and 1,748 minutes.
 
Gray was particularly impressive down the stretch, when she allowed just one goal over her final seven matches, when the Bullets went 5-0-2. Among the NCAA Division III leaders, she currently ranks seventh in goals-against average and 16th in save percentage.
 
For her career, Gray finished with nearly every school record for goalies, including wins (47), shutouts (38), goals-against average (0.46), and save percentage (.863). She also broke the Centennial Conference records for shutouts and is second in conference history in goalie wins.
 
Gettysburg finished the year with a record of 10-2-6 and placed fourth in the conference regular-season standings with a league mark of 7-2-1. For the sixth year in a row, the Bullets registered a double-digit victory total and reached the Centennial Conference playoffs.
