Cal Keeper Earns Third Team Honors

BERKELEY – California goalkeeper Angelina Anderson has been named to the Academic All-America Third Team, announced today by the College Sports Communicators, formerly known as CoSIDA.
 
This is the first Academic All-America honor of Anderson’s career. She was one of six Cal players to be named to the CSC All-District Team earlier this year, joined by Sydney Collins, Hannah Cooper, Kailee Gifford, Paige Metayer and Keely Roy.
 
Anderson, a senior from Danville, led Cal to its best finish since 2019 in her third straight year as a captain of the women’s soccer squad. She helped the Bears to a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 – the team’s first time breaking into the conference’s top-four since 2015 – and a selection to the NCAA Championship. The Golden Bears finished with a 10-5-6 overall record and logged an eight-game unbeaten streak.
 
Anderson recorded six solo shutouts this season and another three combined clean sheets. She is second on Cal’s all-time list with 26 career shutouts. Anderson also sits in fifth place on Cal’s all-time career saves list with 242, 42 of which she captured this season. She started in all 21 matches and played for 1,744 minutes in 2022, only allowing 17 goals by opponents in her time between the goalposts.
 
In addition to the CSC Academic All-District and All-America honors, Anderson was named Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week on Sept. 22, her fifth time earning the weekly conference honor in her career.
 
As a freshman in 2019, Anderson racked up a list of honors, including national recognitions. She was the first conference player in history to be named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year in the same season. Other recognitions she earned were All-Pacific and All-Region First Team spots and All-Pac-12 First Team. Anderson was also named TopDrawerSoccer’s National Player of the Year in 2019 and a Second Team All-American by the United Soccer Coaches.
 
On the international stage, Anderson has represented the United States in two World Cups. She was the starting goalkeeper and captain of the U-17 U.S. Women’s National team at the 2018 FIFA U17…
