2018 NAIA Women’s Soccer All-Americans
SEWARD, Neb. – For the second day in a row, Maria Deeter has been recognized with a national award. On Tuesday (Dec. 4), the NAIA announced the senior as an honorable mention All-America selection. Deeter joins Concordia Athletic Hall of Famer Jennifer Davis (2003) as the second player in Bulldog women’s soccer history to be recognized with some form of All-America recognition.
In terms of accolades, Deeter may be the most decorated performer, on the field and in the classroom, who has ever played soccer for the Bulldogs. In addition to honorable mention All-America status, her 2018 honors include first team All-GPAC, Team MVP, CoSIDA Academic All-District and All-America accolades, the NAIA Scholar-Athlete award and two GPAC Offensive Player of the Week mentions. Additional recognition could come soon from the United Soccer Coaches.
A three-time first team All-GPAC and a one-time second team All-GPAC selection, Deeter topped the Bulldogs with 14 goals scored (four game winners) this past season. She added six assists while helping lead Concordia back to the GPAC tournament championship game for the fifth year in a row. The Seward native produced 37 goals and 27 assists over 81 career games. She was a member of GPAC championship teams in 2016 and 2017. A Lincoln Lutheran High School graduate, Deeter is majoring in biology at Concordia.
