November 10, 2015 | Women's Soccer
UCLA's leading scorers - senior midfielder Kodi Lavrusky and junior forward Darian Jenkins - each received All-Pac-12 honors in 2015, with Lavrusky being named to the second team and Jenkins earning an honorable mention nod.
Lavrusky recorded four goals and two assists, with three of those goals and the two assists coming in the final month of the season. She netted the game-winner against Utah on Oct. 25 in a 1-0 victory. Lavrusky played in all 19 games this season with 17 starts and ranked fifth on the team in minutes played with 1325. This is her first All-Pac-12 honor of her career.
Jenkins led the team in goals scored with five and also ranked ninth in the Pac-12 in that category. In Pac-12 games, she ranked fifth in scoring, netting four of her season goals in conference play. Jenkins played in 18 games and made 16 starts. She had the golden goal in double overtime to beat San Diego in the second game of the season. This is her second all-conference award; she was a first-team selection in 2013, as well as the Pac-12's Freshman of the Year.
California forward Arielle Ship was named the Player of the Year, while USC's Kayla Mills was named Defensive Player of the Year. Stanford earned the other three awards, with Jane Campbell being named Goalkeeper of the Year, defender Alana Cook earning Freshman/Newcomer of the Year honors, and UCLA alumnus Paul Ratcliffe winning Coach of the Year.
