CARSON, Calif.--Cal State Dominguez Hills women's soccer defender Sarah Gibson (La Habra, CA/Sonora HS) has been named to the NSCAA/adidas NCAA Division II Second-Team All-America squad, it was announced by the NSCAA All-America Committee.

Gibson, a 5'10" junior from La Habra, CA, also earned First-Team All-CCAA and First-Team All-Far West Region recognition while starting all 23 games for the Toros. Gibson continues a long and rich history of past CSUDH All-Americans, but is the first since the 1997 season. On the year, Gibson tallied seven points, scoring two goals and earning three assists, ending the regular season tied for the conference's 18th position in assists.

"Sarah really set herself apart as one of the premier defenders at any level on the West Coast," said Head Coach Joe Flanagan. "She anchors our backline and can truly dominate. We are looking forward to having her back next year."

The Toros ended the year 17-4-2, 13-2-1 CCAA, falling to CCAA-rival UC San Diego on penalty kicks (4-3) in the NCAA II Far West Regional Championship game. This season's 17-win total improves upon last year's record by six wins.
