The NCCAA All- American is a difficult title for any athlete to accomplish, but three of our very own Greenville College soccer players were able to do just that. Johnny Madrid, Tymber Gabbert and Hope Brakenhoff were announced last weekend as Honorable Mention selections on the All-American team.
Johnny Madrid is a freshman forward from Chicago, Ill. He has accomplished so much in just one year of collegiate soccer. He was named Third team All-Conference, Offensive player of the week and scored a total of 13 goals in just one season.
Junior Tymber Gabbert, the team captain and center back for Greenville, is from Sedalia, Mo. She was the SLIAC defensive player of the week, named Second Team All-Conference, All-Region, SLIAC All-Tournament team, All-Academic team and NCCAA All-American.
Hope Brakenhoff, a sophomore, is Greenville’s starting goal keeper from Litchfield, Ill. She was named to the first team SLIAC All-Conference, All-Region, All-Academic team and NCCAA All-American.
These three individuals deserve to be recognized as tremendous athletes for Greenville College. All three credit their families, coaches and teammates for helping them to accomplish this prestigious recognition. We are excited to see what these three talented athletes will do in the coming years they have left here at Greenville College. Stay tuned, for you will not want to miss out on their 2016 soccer season.Check out the video below to get to know about their journey at Greenville College and what their perfect first date would be!
