KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Oklahoma State senior Yolanda Odenyo was named an All-American and two other Cowgirls earned All-Central Region accolades when the NSCAA/adidas handed out its 2008 awards recently.
Odenyo, a midfielder from Uppsala, Sweden, earned NSCAA/adidas All-America honors for the second time in her career. She was named a 2008 third-team All-American after earning first-team accolades as a sophomore in 2006.
Along with the All-America honors, Odenyo was also named to the NSCAA/adidas All-Central Region first team for the third consecutive year.
Odenyo had a record-setting senior season for the Cowgirls in 2008. She led the Big 12 Conference with 16 goals and 37 points, both of which set OSU single-season records, and was named the 2008 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-Big 12 performer for the third consecutive year. She finished her career as the Cowgirls' all-time leader in goals and points.
Joining Odenyo on the All-Central Region first team was junior Kasey Langdon. A forward from Wylie, Texas, Langdon was a second-team All-Central Region choice a year ago.
In 2008, Langdon racked up 36 points with 11 goals and 14 assists to earn first-team All-Big 12 honors. Her 14 assists were tops in the conference and tied for fifth nationally. Her 14 assists was also the second-highest single-season total in OSU history.
Earning a spot on the All-Central Region second team was junior Siera Strawser. The Big 12 leader in shots, Strawser finished second in the league with 13 goals to go along with seven assists. A third-team All-Central Region pick a year ago, Strawser had a pair of three-goal games in 2008 and was a second-team All-Big 12 honoree.
