MacIver And Young Named Second-Team All-Big 12

NORMAN, Okla. Oklahoma soccer's Lauren MacIver and Erin Young received second team All-Big 12 Conference accolades today as announced by the league.

MacIver, also a 2002 second-team member, is having another stellar season for OU controlling the midfield. MacIver is tied for second on the team in goals with four and is first in assists with five. She also leads the team in shots with 61, a mark that ranks her fifth in the conference in overall games.

The sophomore midfielder has two game-winning goals this season, the first coming in a season-opening 3-1 victory over Arkansas at OU's John Crain Field. The latter came again at home versus Tulsa in a 2-0 Sooner win in which MacIver fired a season-high nine shots.

Young, a junior defender, received her first All-Big 12 Team honor. Young was a member of the Academic All-Big 12 team the past two seasons. This year she is playing a vital role in the success of OU's defense. The Sooners have allowed one goal or less in 12 contests with four shutouts and a 1.33 goals-against average. In addition, OU has played in a school record nine overtime games this year and has a 3-1-5 record in those contests. The Norman native has played in and started all 18 games this season.

Colorado swept the player, coach and newcomer-of-the-year honors. Bill Hempen was selected Big 12 Coach of the Year, Fran Munnelly was named Big 12 Player of the Year, and Katie Griffin was selected Big 12 Rookie of the Year. A team has not swept the conference individual awards since Texas A&M in 1997.
