Cuellar, who became the first student-athlete in the 16-year history of the OU soccer program to garner such distinction, also earned spots on the All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Newcomer Team.
"For Renae to have a final season to remember is testament to her determination and drive," said first-year OU head coach Matt Potter. "I'm sure she would be the first to thank the contribution of her teammates in accepting the awards. To be recognized around the conference by the other coaches speaks to her true endeavor, contribution and performances this fall. I am delighted for Renae. She deserves the applause both from within and afar. I'm not surprised and am very proud of her. Hopefully, the journey continues this week and beyond."
The La Puente, Calif., native leads the Sooners with 26 points from a team-high 12 goals, which ranks as the third-most in a single season in Oklahoma history. Her 13 points from six goals in eight Big 12 matches paces the conference.
Cuellar, who was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week twice this season, earned national honors when she was named Disney Soccer/National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Player of the Week after scoring game-winning goals against Kansas and TCU.
Oklahoma (7-8-4, 3-3-2) enters the 2012 Big 12 Championships as the fifth seed and is set for a Red River Rivalry showdown against fourth-seeded Texas (7-10-1, 4-4) Wednesday, Oct. 31, in the conference tournament's first round at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. First touch is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CT. For tickets to the 2012 Big 12 Soccer Championship, visit sanantoniosports.org or call (210) 820-2100.
