WKU soccer picked 10th in C-USA, Barnett named to all-preseason team

In a vote by the 14 Conference USA head coaches, WKU soccer was picked to finish 10th in the conference and sophomore Ambere Barnett was selected to the All-C-USA Preseason Women’s Soccer Team, as announced on Monday afternoon by the league office.

Barnett becomes WKU’s first preseason all-conference selection since 2017, when Chandler Backes, Allison Leone and Nicole Roseland each received preseason accolades.

Barnett, a native of Rockport, Indiana, started 16 matches for the Lady Toppers last fall. She led the Lady Toppers offense last season by netting in seven goals, assisting on eight goals and tallying 22 points — tied for the seventh-most points in a single season in WKU history and the most by any Lady Topper since 2012.
