CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Three Boston College women's soccer players - Kelly Henderson, Jillian Mastroianni and Victoria DiMartino - have been named to the 2009 All-America second team by the National Coaches Association of America.
The ACC placed nine student-athletes on the 37-member squad.
Henderson, a defender for the 18-4-2 Eagles, started all 24 games. A native of Baldwin, NY, was the key to the Eagles defense which posted 16 shutouts and held opponents to 13 goals. A second team All-ACC selection, Henderson played central midfield for the Eagles for the first three seasons and moved to the back line to help the team.
She was also just named a semifinal for the 2009 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy, the highest individual honor in intercollegiate soccer.
Sophomore goalkeeper Jillian Mastroianni was named to the All-ACC first team and the TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Season as a third team selection. Mastroianni had an excellent ACC Tournament performance where she had three saves in a shootout and notched 11 saves in a 1-0 loss to UNC.
Mastroianni finished the season with 14 shutouts and a goal-against-average of 0.53.
DiMartino, a native of Massapequa, New York, led the Eagles in scoring with 14 goals and six assists for 34 total points.
An All-ACC first team selection, DiMartino was the ACC Freshman of the Year. She led BC in shots taken (101) and game-winning goals (6).
