Toros Women’s Soccer Places Three on NSCAA All-Far West Region Teams
CSUDH returns eight starters and goalkeep in 2006
November 18, 2005

Carson, CA -- Junior Rachele McDonald (Ventura, CA/Ventura College) made a repeat appearance as an NSCAA First-Team All-Far West Region honoree, and was joined on the First-Team by senior Elizabeth Arreola (Redondo Beach, CA/Redondo Union HS) and on the Second-Team by sophomore Tara Senff (Palos Verdes Estates, CA/South HS) as three Toros were represented on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America’s All-Far West Region Teams, it was announced earlier by the NSCAA.

McDonald, now a two-time NSCAA First-Team All-Far West selection, led CSUDH with nine goals, 30 points and two game-winners as the Toros finished the 2005 campaign as the CCAA runner-up at 14-7-2, 8-4-2 CCAA. Arreola, a three-time All-CCAA selection, earns her first-career First-Team All-Far West honor after anchoring a Toro defense that posted six shutouts and held opponents to just one goal in eight other contests. Senff, who earlier this month was named to the First-Team All-CCAA squad, tallied eight goals and 18 points in her sophomore campaign, notching a team-high three game-winning goals.

The Toros reached the NCAA postseason for the third-consecutive year, and will return eight starters and their starting goalkeep in 2006. Below are the complete 2005 NSCAA All-Far West Region Teams:
