Posted by Icon K on Friday, December 20, 2019

The United Soccer Coaches released its Scholar All-American teams Wednesday. A couple familiar names on the Ohio Northern women's soccer team were recognized. 

Junior forward Jenna Fuller (Countryside, Ill./Lyons Township) was named a first-team Scholar All-American, while senior midfielder Haley Moses (Mason) was a second-team Scholar All-American. 

Fuller started all 24 games this past season. She netted a team-high 20 goals, which is the most by a Polar Bear in a single season since 1997. Fuller currently ranks fourth all-time in school history with 48 career scores, and her 43 points in 2019 gave her 113 for her career, which is good enough for sixth all-time.
