MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel was named to the 2017 Senior CLASS Award First Team for women's soccer after nationwide balloting.

Stanford midfielder Andi Sullivan won the 2017 Senior CLASS Award, while Heintschel joined Sullivan, DePaul's Alexa Ben, Duke's Imani Dorsey and Charlotte's Martha Thomas on the first team.

The award was selected based on votes by coaches, media members and fans across the country. Heintschel led in fan voting at the time the polls closed.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award honors the attributes of senior student-athletes in four areas: community, classroom, character and competition.
