Four players have claimed NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-America honors for the third time in their careers with the announcement of the NCAA Division II women’s team for the 2010 season.
 
Two of them are teammates: defender Katie Whiting (Holden, Mass.) and midfielder Amanda Deck (Syracuse, N.Y.) for the College of Saint Rose. They are joined by forward Sarah Oswald (MaCungie, Pa.) of West Chester University and Becky Fleming (St. Louis, Mo.) of Quincy University. Fleming scored a unique triple, using a fifth year of eligibility to earn All-America recognition in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
 
College of Saint Rose took the lion’s share of the honors with five players on the squad. Whiting and Deck were joined on the first team by teammate Kelly Guerin (Sutton, Mass.), who was a repeat selection, while Deanna Esposito (Sayville, N.Y.) and Christina Cuffari (Brick, N.J.) were named to the third team.
 
Grand Valley State, which won its second consecutive national title, had four players named to the team, including three first-team honorees. In all, 11 players earned repeat selection to the team.
 
The players will be honored at the annual All-America Luncheon, to be held at the Hilton Baltimore Hotel on Saturday, Jan. 15, as part of the 2011 NSCAA Convention.
