From Carnegie Mellon University Athletics

Carnegie Mellon University women's soccer freshman Alex Adams (Pittsburgh, Pa. / North Allegheny) was named to the 2019 United Soccer Coaches All-America Team on Thursday evening when the association announced the 48-player team at the NCAA Championship Banquet in Greensboro, North Carolina. Adams was selected to the third team and is the only freshman to be honored as an All-American in 2019.

Adams is the first Tartan freshman to receive the national award and seventh player in women's soccer history. The first-year forward leads the Tartans with 13 goals and six assists for 32 points with 11 of her goals coming during the regular season. Seven of her goals have been game-winning tallies which ties the school record for most game winners in a season. Her 13 goals is the most ever by a Tartan freshman and her 32 points ties the school's single-season mark which was previously set in 1994.

Adams was named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Athlete of the Week for the second time this season after scoring two goals and assisting on three during the opening weekend of the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship Tournament. The forward has recorded three multi-goal games this season and converted her penalty kick during the shootout to advance the Tartans to the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship national semifinals.
