Kansas University senior Liana Salazar was selected to the All-Central Region soccer first team Thursday by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The honor marked the third time in Salazar’s career she was named to an all-region list.

Salazar, a native of Bogotá, Colombia, finished her 2015 campaign with seven goals, which ranked fifth in the Big 12 and marked the third season of her KU career with five goals or more. The midfielder also tallied a career-high four assists to add to her yearly point total of 18, which also was fifth in the conference.

Salazar scored or assisted in eight of Kansas’ final 11 matches in leading the team to a 10-9-2 overall record and the program’s first appearance in the Big 12 Championship final. She was selected to the All-Big 12 First Team for the third time and was named to the Big 12’s All-Tournament Team.
