Four Western Kentucky University women’s soccer players have been selected to the Conference USA All-Academic Team as announced by the league office Thursday, with Sarah Gorham earning a First Team spot and Kaylyn Bryant, Megan Morris and Nicole Roseland each earning a spot on the Second Team.

WKU’s four All-Academic honorees are the program’s most since becoming a member of C-USA prior to the 2014 season. Both Gorham and Roseland picked up the honors for the second time in their careers, while Bryant and Morris are first-time honorees for WKU.

Among all teams, no C-USA member had more representatives on this year’s team than WKU’s four, which matched Middle Tennessee for the most in the conference.

Named WKU’s Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2017-18, Gorham capped her WKU career as a redshirt senior by finishing with career bests in goals (six) and points (14).

Often an unsung hero for the Lady Toppers while playing as a holding midfielder for much of her career, Roseland entered her senior season with one career point. Despite that, the Altamonte Springs, Fla., native enjoyed the best statistical season of her career in 2018, scoring her first two career goals and adding four assists for WKU.

A key member of WKU’s back line, Bryant played more minutes (1,585) than every WKU field player except Gorham this season. A starter in all 17 matches for the Lady Toppers, Bryant came up with two critical plays in WKU’s draws against North Texas and Rice.

Morris also starred along the back line for the Lady Toppers, often making long runs up the wing on offense as well. The senior made 15 starts in 16 appearances this season and tallied all five of her points in C-USA play.

WKU finished the 2018 season with a 5-8-4 overall record and a 3-5-2 mark in C-USA matches. For the second straight season, the Lady Toppers finished strong down the stretch, dropping only one of their final six matches, while completing an undefeated season at the WKU Soccer Complex for only the second time in school history.
