For her finish in the 5,000m, the Temecula native was named honorable mention.

“That did come as a surprise,” said Weidler of earning all-American status. “I’m proud of myself for that as well.”

Weidler set the school record in the 5,000m earlier in the outdoor season en route to winning the event at the Big West Championship for her third title of the athletic calendar year.

In a year that started with the individual Big West Conference crosscountry title and the first appearance by an Aggie at the NCAA National Championship since 2008, she came full circle to cap off the year.

After a short break from track and field and finals, Weidler will begin training for her junior year in crosscountry, which begins in September.

“The Storm is playing in two leagues and so they have a huge player pool,” Sullivan said. “I don’t know exactly which group we’re going to play against.”

Regardless of who’s on the field for the Storm, Sullivan sees the matchup as a chance for his players to improve and get more experience.

“I think the USL W League and the WPSL are pretty even leagues as far as talent right now, so we know we’re playing against top-level college players,” Sullivan said. “Every game is an opportunity for players to get better and challenge themselves.”

After facing the Storm, the Lionesses will remain in Davis to play San Ramon FC on Saturday, June 24 and Diablo Valley on July 1.
