2014 NSCAA All-America Teams
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - University of Illinois senior forward Jannelle Flaws was named a NSCAA/Continental Tire third-team All-American for the first time in her career, announced the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Friday. The Glenview, Illinois, native led the Big Ten and tied for 12th in the NCAA with 17 goals this season. It marks the first Illini to earn the NSCAA honor since Vanessa DiBernardo in 2012.
Flaws was a first-team All-Region selection and a unanimous pick for Big Ten Forward of the Year, making her the first Illini to win the conference's top honor in consecutive seasons. Flaws also equaled her career-high with three assists and led the Big Ten in shots (107) and points (37) this year.
From Sept. 14-28, Flaws scored in five consecutive games, equaling the school record set by Emily Brown in 2000. She scored 10 goals during that stretch, the most ever by an Illini in that span. Flaws became the first Illini to tally multiple goals in four straight games to start her streak: 2 at Nebraska; 2 vs. Indiana; 3 vs. Purdue; and 2 at Ohio State. Her fifth straight game with a goal came at Penn State.
Flaws led the nation with a school-record 23 goals in 2013. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, she owns 40 goals in 43 games, which is tied for the second-most goals in the NCAA over the span. For her career, Flaws has 43 goals, which is tied with DiBernardo for third on the school's all-time list. Flaws is chasing the top two goal scorers in program history: Tara Hurless (47 goals) and Emily Brown (46 goals).
