WOMEN’S SOCCER Leah Porter and Tiffany Kracy of the Point Loma women’s soccer team have been selected to the 2012 NSCAA/Continental Tire National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division I All-America First Team. Kallie Caldwell also picked up an honorable mention. Porter, a junior from Yorba Linda, started 18 matches as a defender for Point Loma Nazarene University to help anchor the Sea Lions’ backline. PLNU’s defense led the Pacific West Conference in goals allowed and goals against average. The Sea Lions gave up just 12 goals in 19 matches for 0.60 goals against average. As a team, Point Loma also led the league in shutouts by blanking its opponent in 11 of 19 matches. Kracy was credited with nine of those shutouts to pace the PacWest. The senior from Whittier led the conference with just 0.53 goals allowed per match. Kracy had a .863 save percentage and 63 saves on the year. This is the second time Kracy has been selected as an All-American. She was also named to the NSCAA All-American team as a freshman and was the only repeat winner on the 2012 squad. Caldwell, a senior midfielder from Coronado, finished second in the league with eight assists and 0.5 assists per game. PLNU was 7-0 in matches in which Caldwell records an assist, including in the NCCAA West Regional against Azusa Pacific. Porter joins Kracy and Breanna Nelson (2005 and 2007) as the only Sea Lions to ever receive NSCAA/-Continental Tire All-America honors. PLNU played in the NAIA at the time.
