WASHINGTON - Georgetown University women's soccer player Ingrid Wells (Upper Montclair, N.J./Montclair) was named a Preseason All-American by SoccerAmerica on Tuesday morning. The senior was one of five midfielders selected to the 25-player team which included four student-athletes from the BIG EAST.
Wells was a First Team All-America selection from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) last year and was selected as the BIG EAST Conference Midfielder of the Year. A three-time All-BIG EAST First Team selection, Wells tied for the team lead in scoring with 28 points, setting a school single-season record for points in a season. Wells scored nine goals and recorded a team-high 10 assists. She finished tied for fifth in the BIG EAST in points (28, 1.17 per game), tied for third in assists (10, 0.42 per game) and tied for seventh in goals (9, 0.38). Nationally, Wells finished 25th in the country in total assists.
Through three years on the Hilltop, Wells has scored 22 goals and has 34 assists for 78 points, two shy of the all-time record for points in a career. She will need three more points to pass Sara Jordan (C'10), who holds the school record with 80 points. Her 22 goals are tied for fifth all-time at Georgetown and she is the school's all-time leader in assists with 34.
Already this season, Wells has been named Preseason All-BIG EAST and the Hoyas are in the national rankings in three separate polls.
The Hoyas open the 2011 regular season on Friday, Aug. 19, visiting George Washington. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. The Blue & Gray play their home opener against American on Sunday, Aug. 21 (1 p.m.).
