KANSAS CITY, Mo. –
Abby Kraemer has been named a Second Team All-American by the United Soccer Coaches, as announced on Friday by the organization.
Â
Kraemer is the first-ever All-American in program history. The junior is the first student-athlete from an America East school to earn All-American status since 2012 and is the first second-team-or-higher honoree for the conference since 2005. Maine is just the fourth school as a member of the America East to have an All-American honoree.
Â
Kraemer was named the America East Striker of the Year and received America East All-Conference First Team honors after leading the league in points (30), points per game (1.76), goals (13), goals per game (0.72), game-winning goals (6), shots (68) and shots per game (3.78). The junior continually ranked in the top 15 in the nation in those same categories throughout the season and still sits t-6th in game-winning goals t-13th in goals per game, t-14th in points per game and 18th in goals.
Â
The Waterloo, Ontario native's 13 goals marked the most for an America East player in a single season since 2018 and her six game-winning goals on the year are tied for the most by an America East player since 2019
Â
Kraemer's 30 points on the year were the most in a single-season for a Maine player since Heather Hathorn had 29 points (10-9-29) in 2004 and trailed only Sophie Lecot's 1996 season (17-4-38). Her six game-winning goals on the year are tied for the most by an America East player since 2019 and the most by a Maine player since at least the 2002 season.
This year's All-Americans will be recognized for their accomplishments at the United Soccer Coaches All-America Ceremony & Reception on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif., in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
