AUBURN, Ala. – Senior midfielder Bri Folds has been named to the Top Drawer Soccer Best XI Third Team, the publication announced Tuesday.
The recognition comes the same day Folds was named to the SEC Soccer Preseason Watch List for the third consecutive season. The Lakeland, Florida, native was also named to the Hermann Trophy Watch List earlier this month.
Folds led Auburn with nine goals and 25 points en route to earning All-SEC, All-Southeast Region and All-American honors a season ago. She became the sixth player in program history to be named an All-American.
Six of Folds' nine goals were game-winners, which tied the program's single-season record. She played and started in 19 matches and logged 1,574 minutes of action on the pitch. Folds also ranked second on the team with seven assists.
Entering her final season in an Auburn uniform, Folds ranks in the top 10 and continues to climb a number of career records including assists (22), shots (178) and game-winning goals (nine). She also ranks just outside the top 10 in career goals (18) and points (58).
Folds also competed for the U.S. U-23 Women's National Team at the Women's International La Manga Tournament in La Manga, Spain, earlier this year. It marked the fourth time Folds garnered a national team invite since November 2017.
Folds and the Tigers begin the 2019 regular season with a matchup at South Florida on Thursday, Aug. 22. The team will take on Syracuse in its home opener on Thursday, Sept. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
