Kansas University soccer player Caroline Smith was named to the 2003 SoccerBuzz All-America first team, officials announced Monday.
“It is great to be recognized as one of the best in country,” Smith said. “There are a lot of great players out there, and to have my name next to theirs means a lot to me and also says a lot about the Kansas program and where it is headed.”
Smith, a first team All-American in three publications (NSCAA, CSTV and SoccerBuzz), holds the KU single-season mark for goals scored with 19 in 2003. The Edina, Minn., native also is the Jayhawks’ career goals leader with a total of 31 in only two seasons.
“Caroline has established herself as one of the best in the country. She is deserving of all the recognition she receives,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “It is a great honor for her, and I know we are all expecting great things from her in her next two seasons at Kansas.”
Kansas, which was ranked No. 11 by SoccerBuzz at the end of the season, ended its 2003 campaign with a record of 18-6-1, best-ever for the Jayhawks.
