Four Jaguars Earn All-Conference Honors Following Historic Season

WACO, Texas – The Red River Athletic Conference recently announced the All-Conference teams along with the Players and Coach of the Year following the conclusion of the regular season. A&M-San Antonio finished the season in the first round of the RRAC Women's Soccer Tournament. The Jaguars finished with a record of (9-4-3, 6-3-2 RRAC) and locked up the sixth and final seed of the regular season standings to advance to the playoffs.  

Freshman forward Ana Barragan (Brownsville, Texas) earned All-RRAC Second Team honors while sophomore midfielder Brooke Theis (Spokane, Washington), sophomore goalkeeper Maram Abdeljaber (El Paso, Texas/Franklin), and senior defender Keana Flores (Houston, Texas) all picked up All-RRAC Honorable Mention accolades.

As a rookie, Barragan led the Jaguars offense in goals scored with seven and tied for first on the team in total points with 16. She tallied four goals in conference play and added two assists. During the Jaguars five match winning streak, she scored three goals and recorded one assist to ultimately help TAMUSA make the conference tournament.

During the season, Theis tallied one goal and three assists. Two of those assists came during conference play. As a midfielder, she played stout defense all season and created multiple counter attacking opportunities for her teammates.

Abdeljaber saw the majority of the minutes in goal for the Jaguars with 12 appearances and 10 starts. During conference play, she recorded 29 saves and only allowed 10 goals. Her goals allowed average was one of the best in the conference (1.04).

Flores anchored a backline that only allowed 10 goals in conference. She made it tough for forwards and midfielders to take quality shots in the box and did a great job defending against corner kicks.

This accomplishment marks the first time in program history that players from Texas A&M University of San Antonio's women's soccer team have earned RRAC All-Conference honors.
