Tucker Tabbed to D2CCA All-American Third Team

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Senior forward Sydney Tucker of the Concord University women's soccer team has been selected to the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) All-American Third Team, the organization released Tuesday afternoon.

Tucker becomes the seventh All-American in program history, and the first since the trio of Morgan Carmichael, Yasmin Mosby and Courtney Smith in 2021.

With only the national semifinals and championship game left to be played in Division II, Tucker ranks in a tie for sixth in Division II in goals (16) and her point total of 36 is tied for 11^th in the country. The Raleigh, North Carolina native was one of two players with three or more hat tricks this fall across Division II.
Tucker earns Third Team All-American after being voted both the Mountain East Conference and Atlantic Regional Player of the Year.

Along with Tucker's three hat tricks versus Salem, West Liberty and Wheeling other highlights include scoring a brace in the home opener versus Davis & Elkins and having a goal-scoring streak of seven consecutive games from October 6 to October 27.

Overall, Tucker either had a goal, an assist or both in nine of Concord's 19 games this fall.

For her career, Tucker scored 28 career goals—all in the last two seasons—which ranks in a tie for ninth in program history. Over the first two years of her career, Tucker only appeared in three games at CU before breaking out last season as Concord's top scorer with 12 goals.

Tucker was joined on the All-American Teams by fellow MEC players Lina Jaime of Charleston (first team) and Frostburg State's Cat Smith (second team).

Six of the seven All-Americans in Concord women's soccer history have been coached by ninth-year head coach Luke Duffy.

Flagler's Andrea Fernandez was named the D2CCA Player of the Year.
