The Cleveland State women’s soccer team, which has set a program record with 10 wins this season, had three players named to the All-Horizon League teams, which were announced on Monday afternoon (Oct. 31) by the league office.

Earning a spot on the All-Horizon League first team for the second straight year was senior midfielder Natalie Daniels (Olympia, Wash.).

"I couldn’t be happier or more proud of daniels," head coach Derrek Falor said. "To see her continue recognized after our record setting season is very exciting. I think it shows that we are becoming more and more respected and improving as a program.

"The success that we have been able to enjoy this year is due to playing as a team and for the three players who have been recognized, there are many others who are deserving in their own rights. Without them, we could not have enjoyed the success we have had this year and I know they appreciate the respect that these honors show."

Daniels, who was a second team all-league pick as a freshman and sophomore and first team pick last year, becomes the first player in school history to earn all-league honors in four straight seasons. She leads the team and is fourth in the league with six assists, while ranking second in goals (3) and points (12). A four-year letterwinner, Daniels is the CSU career record holder in goals (19), assists (19), points (57), shots (154) and shots on goal (96).

2010- Cleveland State sophomore midfielder Natalie Daniels is the lone Viking to earn league honors following the 2009 season in a vote of the league coaches. Daniels earned a spot on the All-Horizon League Second Team following her performance this season.

"This is a very well deserved honor for Natalie," head coach Derrek Falor said. "Natalie is a sophisticated central mid who uses a very cerebral and creative approach to the game. She’s a technical player who can dictate tempo, shoot well from distance, and play teammates `in’ with a variety services. She is most dangerous for us in the creation of quality scoring chances in transition." She has proven that she is one of the top players in the conference, even in a down year for our program. It is a testament to her creativity and work ethic that will only improve over the next two years."

The Olympia, Washington native finished the season second on the team with two goals and tied for first with two assists totaling six points. Daniels started in all 18 matches for the Vikings, leading the team with 17 shots on goal.

She recorded her first goal of the season in the 2-1 overtime victory at Kent State scoring the game-winner in the 99th minute, giving CSU their first victory of the year. Her second goal came during the 3-2 loss at IUPUI, with her assists coming against Eastern Illinois and Butler.

Daniels is no stranger to Horizon League postseason awards, as she was named to the All-Horizon League second team and the Horizon League All-Newcomer team following her freshman campaign last season.

Following last week’s loss to Youngstown State, the Vikings eliminated themselves from the Horizon League Tournament finishing the season in seventh place with a 3-14-1 overall record, 2-5-1 in the league.
