Andi Sullivan's seamless transition from the Under-20 World Cup to Stanford has been rewarded with the honor of being selected as the Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Year for women's soccer.

Sullivan was one of three Cardinal players to be named to the first team, joined by seniors Lo'eau LaBonta, a midfielder, and Chioma Ubogagu, a forward. Sophomore goalkeeper Jane Campbell was named to the second team and junior midfielder Laura Liedle and sophomore defender/midfielder Stephanie Amack received honorable mention honors.

The selections were made by a vote of Pac-12 coaches.

Sullivan, who also was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team, started the first match -- a 1-0 overtime victory at North Carolina -- only days after returning from captaining the United States at the U-20 World Cup in Canada.

Sullivan has started mostly as a holding midfielder and occasionally in central defense. She came to Stanford as the No. 1 recruit in the nation.
