SAN DIEGO - Megan Jurado of San Diego State women's soccer has been named a 2012 first-team All-American by CollegeSportsMadness.com, the website announced on Monday. The senior forward is just the second Aztec women's soccer player to garner All-American honors since Catherine McGuire earned similar accolades during the 1998 season.
The honor is in addition to being named the website's Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year and to its all-MW first team last week. In conference play, Jurado had two game-winners and led the league in points (13) and goals (five), while tying for first in assists (three).
