Third Cincinnati State soccer player named All-American
December 22, 2010
Amanda Seaburn, a standout defender for the Cincinnati State women’s soccer team, has been named a First Team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Seaburn, a 2009 graduate of Oak Hills High School, joins Ashton Bennett and Cody Clark from the Cincinnati State men’s soccer team as a recipient of the 2010 All-American awards from the NSCAA.
Seaburn was a key member of the defensive side of Cincinnati State's 13-3-0 women's soccer team in 2010. A second-year student at the college, Seaburn blossomed into a leadership role as the Surge improved markedly from a seven-win season in 2009. Seaburn anchored a defense that in 2010 allowed just seven goals all season.
On the offensive side, Seaburn chipped in with 6 goals and 2 assists. According to women’s Head Coach Wil Cagle, “the pressure she put on the other team having to deal with her deep runs with and without the ball had a big impact for us.’’
Cincinnati State finished the season ranked 10th in the NSCAA and 13th in the National Junior College Athletic Association national polls. The team established a school record for most wins in a season (13) and tied records for fewest loses (3), fewest goals allowed (7), most shutouts (12) and highest final national rankings.
