The sophomore back earns Third-Team All-America, extending the program’s All-America streak to six consecutive seasons
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Sophomore back Emily Mason of Rutgers women's soccer has been named to the All-America Third Team by the United Soccer Coaches for the 2022 season, announced by the organization on Friday. The honor extends the Rutgers women's soccer program's streak to six consecutive seasons boasting at least one All-American.
Mason earns the Scarlet Knights' 21st All-America award, and is the 15th student-athlete in program history to become an All-American. Rutgers has had an All-American on the roster in each season since 2017 under head coach Mike O'Neill, and in nine out of the 11 campaigns.
Mason, also an All-Big Ten First Team and All-North Region First Team selection, turned in 14 matches with the full 90 minutes played, contributing to eight shutouts on the Scarlet Knight defense. The versatile, 5-foot-10 defender has also chipped in on the attack, scoring her first collegiate goal in a 7-0 win against Temple on Sept. 1 and then scoring her first collegiate brace in a 3-0 win at Purdue on Oct. 2. She also added an important assist in the 1-1 draw at then-No. 8 Northwestern on Sept. 29.
The Flemington, New Jersey native was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 20 after playing all 90 minutes and helping the Scarlet Knights hold No. 21 Ohio State to two shots on goal in a 2-0 shutout victory.
Mason missed the first two contests of the season while serving with the United States Youth National Team at the U20 World Cup in Costa Rica. She previously won gold with the USYNT at the Concacaf Women's Championship and the Sud Ladies Cup in 2021.
