San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) women’s soccer sophomore midfielder Steffany De La Torre (Desert Hot Springs H.S.) has been named to the 2013 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Junior College Scholar All-America Team.
De La Torre, a mathematics major, was one of 11 community college athletes across the nation honored with this award and the first SBVC women’s soccer player to receive this honor.
De La Torre was named second team All-Foothill Conference this past fall and tied for first in the conference with 11 assists, including four game winning goals. De La Torre was also named to the 2012 honorable mention All-Foothill Conference.
Under the tutelage of 10th-year coach Kristin Hauge, SBVC women's soccer won their fifth Foothill Conference Championship and made a seventh straight playoff appearance. The team finished the year with a 17-3-2 overall record and a 9-1 conference record. They were rewarded with a number 3 seed in the Southern California Regional Playoffs. As a reward for their fifth conference championship, the team was bestowed with four first team All-Conference honors and four second team All-Conference honors.
The 2013 NSCAA Junior College Scholar All-America Team was honored at the 2014 NSCAA National Convention awards banquet in Philadelphia on Jan. 18.
