CHICAGO, Ill. – For the second year in a row, Olivet Nazarene's Abbey Cash has been awarded first team All-Conference honors and Teagon Albert has been tabbed as an second team All-Conference selection by the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). The league's selections were announced on Monday morning.
Cash, a native of Gardner, Ill. led the Tigers to a 9-2-2 conference record contributing two goals and three assists on the year. Her most memorable moments came by scoring the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute to defeat the eventual CCAC Tournament Champions, St. Ambrose, 1-0, back on Sep. 14. Cash's delivery from corner kicks sparked a comeback win over No. 23 Trinity Christian, 4-3, back on Sep. 22.
The outside back started all 19 matches for Olivet Nazarene and her work defensively kept clean sheets in six separate games. Despite lining up in the back, Cash attempted the second-most shots on the team with 49 this fall.
Albert, a native of Grayslake, Ill. fought hard at the beginning of the season to get back on the field coming off an injury. Her productive year included six goals, three assists, and 28 shots on goal. Her six goals and 15 points were good enough for second on the team in each category. Her 51 shot attempts led the Tigers. Albert's most memorable moment came within the first 30 seconds of overtime against Governors State on Oct. 20. Her goal from distance ended the match, 2-1.
