AUSTIN, Texas – College Sports Communicators named Isabel Robben
of Fort Hays State to its Women's Soccer Academic All-America Team on
Tuesday. She earned first-team honors at goalkeeper. Robben is
one of only three goalkeepers nationally in NCAA Division II to receive
Academic All-America honors for 2022 and was the top vote receiver among
goalkeepers as a first-team selection. Sports Information and Athletic
Communication professionals nationwide vote on the Academic All-America
Team, which reflects both academic and athletic accomplishments of the
individuals selected.
Robben owns a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average as an
Accounting and Finance double major at FHSU. She earned both the MIAA
Academic Excellence Award (cumulative 4.0 GPA) and MIAA Scholar-Athlete
Award (All-MIAA honors with at least a 3.5 GPA) this season. She is a
three-time recipient of the MIAA Academic Excellence Award.
On the field, Robben was among the nation's top goalkeepers this season.
She was an All-MIAA Second Team selection. She ranked fifth in NCAA
Division II for individual shutouts with 11 and had a combined shutout
as well to have a hand in all 12 of Fort Hays State's shutouts. The 12
shutouts tied the school record, set by the 2016 team. Robben played the
12th most minutes of any goalkeeper in NCAA Division II with
1,879 and she owned an 0.71 goals against average and .805 save
percentage for the season. She allowed one or less goals in 18 of 21
contests for FHSU in 2022.
Robben is the second individual in FHSU Women's Soccer history to
receive Academic All-America honors from College Sports Communicators
(formerly CoSIDA). Darby Hirsch was a second-team selection as a forward
in 2019, so Robben is the first player in program history to receive
first-team honors. Robben joined Reilly Madden (D), Emily Hutchings (MF), and Hannah Mares
(F) as Academic All-District selections this season before all were
placed on the ballot for potential Academic All-America selection.
