IRVINE, Calif. - Two of the youngest players on the Concordia University Irvine women's water polo team were named All-Americans by the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches.

True freshman Anna Tyukasz earned First Team All-American honors while starting goalie Jaden Soto earned Honorable Mention All-American status.

Tyukasz led Concordia in many categories including goals (71), assists (26) and points (97). She also collected 29 recorded steals, which ranked highest on the team for all non-goalies.

Speaking of the goalie position, Soto racked up more than 280 saves this season between the pipes and reached an impressive milestone as a sophomore with 500 career saves.

The Murrieta, Calif. native was in net for CUI's surge down the stretch as the team defeated D1 conference foe Santa Clara twice.  Soto was a defensive force for CUI, notching double-digit saves in her last eight starts and tallying at least 18 saves or more on three occasions. She also was credited with five assists and 42 recorded steals, which lead her entire team.

Together, the duo helped the Golden Eagles go 4-3 in their last seven contests, painting a bright future for what lies ahead for the program under head coach Casey Greenawalt.
