Senior standout becomes first-ever BGSU student-athlete to earn the honor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (BGSU Athletic Communications) -- Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Chelsee Washington has earned yet another honor. On Wednesday (Dec. 18) afternoon, Washington was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America Third Team.
Washington is the first BGSU women's soccer student-athlete ever to be named to the USC Scholar All-America Team.
Washington, a native of Carrollton, Texas (Hebron), was one of just two Mid-American Conference players to be named to the team. She was named to the USC Scholar All-North/Central Region First Team earlier this week, earning that honor for the second-straight season.
The MAC's Offensive Player of the Year in 2019, Washington was selected to the All-MAC First Team for the second consecutive season. She scored a team-leading 25 points in her senior campaign, finishing second on the Falcons with eight goals and leading the club with nine assists.
Washington's goal total included overtime winners vs. both Dayton and Eastern Michigan, and a goal in the NCAA Championships at Michigan. In MAC games, she tied for the team scoring lead, with 14 points in the 11 conference contests. Washington ended her career with 65 points at BGSU, tying for fourth in school history. She finished fifth in career goals, with 21, and tied for fourth on the BG assists list, with 23.
Washington was named to the USC All-Midwest Region First Team, becoming just the second player in program history to earn all-region first-team honors. She was one of nine Falcons named to the Academic All-MAC Team last week.
Washington, a criminal justice major, had a 3.629 cumulative GPA at the time of nomination.
In 2019, the Falcons won both the MAC regular-season and tournament titles for the second consecutive year. BGSUÂ went 14-6-3 overall, tying the school record for wins, and finished with a league ledger of 10-1-0 for the second-straight season. The Falcons became the first program in MAC history to win 10 conference matches in back-to-back seasons.
During her four years in a BGSU uniform, Washington helped the Falcons to an overall record of 49-28-8, a MAC regular-season mark of 29-13-2 and a 35-14-4 ledger in all games vs. MAC foes.
Over the last three seasons, she helped BG go 41-18-7 overall, 26-6-1 in MAC regular-season matches and 32-7-3 in all games vs. conference opposition. BGSU advanced to the MAC Tournament's championship match in each of the last three seasons, winning the title in both 2018 and '19.
