McGrath receives NSCAA first-team All-America honor

The honor is the second earned by senior midfielder Meghan McGrath in her Rock career; she also earned top honors in 2003 as a true freshman

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. -- Senior midfielder Meghan McGrath capped off an illustrious collegiate career Monday by receiving first-team All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).

The first-team honor is the second received by McGrath in her four-year collegiate career and makes her first the player in Rock women's soccer history to earn two first-team All-America honors.

McGrath joined teammate Sarah Arsenault on the first-team All-America list in 2003. They were the first -- and are the only -- Rock players to have attained the ultimate national honor. 

Maureen Ennis earned second-team NSCAA All-America honors in 2001, while Sonya Maher was a third-team All-America selection in 1999.

McGrath, an exercise science major from Vernon, N.J., scored a team-high 11 goals and handed out three assists in 2007 to lead SRU to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division championship, a runner-up finish in the PSAC playoffs and a second successive trip to the NCAA Division II postseason playoffs.

She finished her collegiate career as SRU's No. 3 all-time scorer with 101 points. She set the school record for career assists with 25 and ranks third in career goals with 38.

Prior to earning the first-team NSCAA All-America honor, McGrath was the first Rock player to earn Daktronics Inc. All-America status in voting by the nation's Division II sports information directors.

McGrath has also collected four first-team NSCAA All-Northeast Region honors, two Daktronics first-team all-region honors and four first-team All-PSAC-West citations. She was the PSAC "Rookie of the Year" in 2003 and the PSAC-West "Athlete of the Year" in 2007.

McGrath was a member of Rock teams that compiled a 67-20-7 cumulative record, won two PSAC playoff titles, played in three PSAC finals and four PSAC semifinals, won three PSAC regular-season titles and earned berths in three NCAA postseason competitions.
