Two Hofstra University players — midfielder Lucy Porter and forward Sabrina Bryan — were named to the NCAA Division I women’s All-American team Thursday.

Porter was chosen to the second team, while Bryan was selected to the third team.

Both players are juniors.

The Colonial Athletic Association midfielder of the year, Porter led high-powered offense that ranked first in the conference in every offensive category. She finished with a program-record 40 points via a conference-high 16 goals and eight assists. Porter also tied for a team and CAA-high five game-winning goals.

Bryan, the CAA attacking player of the year, tallied 32 points, which was second in the CAA from 11 goals and a CAA-high 10 assists. She added three game-winning goals, including the extratime game-winner that propelled Hofstra to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Fifty-one players receive All-America recognition this year, including six players who are earning the third All-America awards of their career. South Carolina senior defender Grace Fisk, UCLA senior midfielder Jessie Fleming, Stanford junior midfielder Catarina Macario, North Carolina junior forward Alessia Russo, Florida State senior midfielder Deyna Castellanos and South Florida senior forward Evelyne Viens are all All-Americans for a third time. Eight other players are earning the award for a second time.

This year’s All-Americans will be acknowledged for their accomplishments at the United Soccer Coaches All-America ceremony and reception at the Baltimore Convention Center in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention Saturday, Jan. 18.
