ADA — Junior Kylie Cabana (Dexter, Mich.) was named a Third Team All-American by D3soccer.com, the organization announced on Wednesday.

Cabana, a defender, was one of 33 student-athletes nationwide to be selected to one of D3soccer.com's All-America teams for the 2022 season.

This is just the latest of a long list of accolades Cabana has received for her play during the 2022 season.

She was named to the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Women's Scholar All-America Second Team and was one of 11 student-athletes from across the country to be named a First Team Academic All-American by College Sports Communicators. She was also an All-Ohio First Team and Academic All-Ohio First Team selection.

A 2022 Ohio Athletic Conference First Team selection as the conference's Co-Defender of the Year, Cabana also earned NCAA Division III All-America Third Team and All-District VII First Team accolades from United Soccer Coaches in addition to CSC Academic All-District and Academic All-OAC status this season.

Cabana was a key member of the ONU defense that limited opponents to 5.6 shots, including just 2.6 on goal, per game in 2022. Opponents combined to score just nine goals against ONU all season, and the Polar Bears posted 15 shutouts, including a stretch of nine straight from Oct. 12 to Nov. 12. The nine goals allowed marked a new program record for a non-shortened season, and the 15 total shutouts and nine consecutive shutouts are both just one shy of all-time records.

Cabana started all 21 games this year, tallying six goals and six assists. Her assist total tied for fourth-best in the OAC, and her 18 points tied for the team lead and was tied for ninth in the conference. She has started 42 of her 44 career games at ONU and will enter her senior season with 29 points on nine goals and 11 assists.

The Polar Bears finished the 2022 season 14-2-5 overall and were OAC regular season co-champions with Capital, posting a 7-0-2 mark in conference play. They won their second straight OAC Tournament championship to clinch an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament, where they advanced to the second round for the second consecutive year.
