All-American Ashlee Pistorius grabbed four awards at Sunday night's banquet honoring Texas A&M's soccer team at Messina Hof.

She won the Offensive MVP, Most Improved, Leading Scorer (25 goals, 59 points) and Assists Leader Awards. Senior Paige Carmichael won the Iron Aggie Award, which goes to the player who achieved in the weight room, and the Perseverance Award.

Other award winners were senior Amy Berend, Midfield MVP; junior Micah Stephens, Defensive MVP; freshman Rachel Shipley, Newcomer of the Year; sophomore Cydne Currie, 12th Man; and senior Elisabeth Jones, Spirit of Aggieland.

"Our annual awards banquet has always been a special night to celebrate the past year's team accomplishments, and it's especially nice to announce these special awards that were determined by the players' peers and coaches," A&M head coach G. Guerrieri said.

A&M was 18-4-2 last season, winning its fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season championship. The Aggies advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, losing to Texas.
