BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Three members of the WKU Soccer team have earned postseason Conference USA awards, the league announced on Tuesday. Lyric Schmidt was named to the All-Conference First Team, Alexis Bach was named to the All-Conference Third Team and Abby Davis was tabbed to the All-Freshmen Team.
Schmidt previously was named to the All-Conference Second Team in 2020 and has earned United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team for the past two seasons. The fifth year captain has been the leader of the WKU backline that has allowed just 12 goals all season for a 0.67 goals against average. That mark leads the league and is currently the second best average in school history and top 30 in the country. Schmidt scored the game-winning goal against Charlotte on her Senior Night.
Bach has a 0.68 goals against average on the season, which is the second best average of any goalkeeper in the conference and is a top 40 mark in the country. Her six clean sheets are the fourth most in the league and her 81.0 save percentage is third best. In just two seasons at WKU, Bach has the fifth most career saves at WKU and currently has the second best career goals against average.
Davis has been a consistent starter in the midfield for WKU on a veteran-heavy team, getting the starting nod in 13 of 18 matches. She scored the game-winning goal against Florida Atlantic on Oct. 13. The rookie has logged the second most minutes of any midfielder on the Lady Topper squad.
WKU travels to Charlotte for the C-USA Championship this week. The Lady Toppers will face North Texas in the first round on Wednesday at 10 a.m. (CT). The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
