Clemson, SC- After setting the ACC career record for shutouts and helping lead Clemson to its fifth straight NCAA Sweet 16 appearance, goalkeeper Katie Carson was rewarded by being named a third-team All-American by the NSCAA.

After leading Clemson to consecutive victories over South Carolina and Duke, Carson was also named ACC Co-Player of the Week for the week of October 9. Last week, she and teammates Deliah Arrington and Lindsay Browne were named First-Team All-South by the NSCAA.
