Tulsa seniors Tana Dake and Rachel Thun-Blankenship were named to the 2017 American Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Preseason Team, as announced today by the league office. The Golden Hurricane was also picked to finish seventh in the conference, as voted on by the league's head coaches.
Thun-Blankenship, who tallied 12 goals and nine assists for 33 points last season, is a three-time American Athletic Conference first-team performer, and earned The American Midfielder of the Year and NSCAA All-Northeast Region third team accolades last season. Dake added two goals and seven assists, and picked up The American second-team honors a year ago.
