AKRON, Ohio – Freshman Ashley Amato (Pittsburgh, Pa.) was named to the Mid-American Conference All-Freshman team for her performance throughout the 2016 season and league play, announced by the MAC on Thursday.
"Very pleased that she was recognized by the coaches," said Noreen Herlihy. "She was our top scorer in the MAC and also had the most goals in the MAC as a defender. She has a bright future ahead of her."
Amato started all 19 games for the Zips on the backline defense that forced three shutouts, all in conference play, against Miami, NIU, and Western Michigan.
