KANSAS CITY, Mo. -The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced the 2011 Women's Soccer All-America teams on Monday. Three teams are selected and composed of 13 players each, which were selected by the All-America committee.

Golden State Athletic Conference regular season champions and third-place NAIA National Championship finishers Point Loma Nazarene landed four players on All-American teams: Erica Wessels, Tiffany Kracy, Katie Pedlowe and Kallie Caldwell.

Wessels, a senior defender was named a first-team All-American. Not only was she key to PLNU's tough defense that allowed just 13 goals and .50 goals per game average this year, she led the Sea Lions with 12 goals and 27 points. She scored four goals during the NAIA National Tournament and was an all-tournament pick as well as a NAIA National Defensive Player of the Week.

Kracy, a junior goalkeeper, notched 18 shutouts on the year, allowing just 13 goals and a .50 goals per game against average. Kracy, a second-team All-American selection, had 90 saves this season. She was the NAIA National Defensive Player of the Week this year. This is her third All-American nod.

Pedlowe, a senior forward, earned second-team honors. She was second on the Sea Lions with 22 points. She scored six goals and dished out 10 assists – the most ever in a single-season at Point Loma. A NAIA Scholar-Athlete, Pedlowe is key to setting up Sea Lion set pieces by continually forcing corner kicks. She earned her second all-tournament selection this year as well as being named an All-American for the second time.

Caldwell, a sophomore midfielder, was named a third-team All-American. She just completed her first season at Point Loma and made an immediate impact with two goals and six assists. That number maybe should be higher as PLNU scores quite a bit off of her excellent corner kicks.

Jamie Achten of Lee (Tenn.) was named Player of the Year for the second-consecutive season. The senior forward capped off her career by helping the Lady Flames become the first program to ever win four-straight national championships as they defeated Concordia (Ore.), 3-0, on Dec. 3. During her four years playing in the event, Achten has set a trio of individual championship records and been a part of two team records. She finished the season ranked among the nation's top 30 in eight offensive statistical categories, including first in total assists (26) and assists per game (1.04). Achten was third in total points (70), seventh in points per game (2.80) and 10th in total goals (22). 

Achten is the second player to earn the distinction in back-to-back seasons, matching Westmont's (Calif.) Kristi Sullivan (2002, 03). She also becomes the first four-time All-American in Lee women's soccer history, as she was a First-Team pick in 2008, 2010 and 2011, along with a Second-Team honor in 2009. 

Also headlining the All-America selections are three-time honorees Ida Gregersen and Mia Persson of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) and Concordia's (Ore.) Brittany Orr. Eight other players earned their second All-America nod, while 27 others tallied their first All-America status. 

The 2011 NAIA Women's Soccer Coach of the Year will be announced at the National Soccer Coaches' Association of America (NSCAA) National Convention held in Kansas City in mid-January.
