Of her 11 goals, four of them were game winners for the Dons, the four-game winning goals is second most in a single season at USF.
For Madison, earning third team honors is the culmination of her record breaking season. The native of Tracy, Calif., led the Dons with 11 assists, which is a program record for assists in a season – besting the old mark of 10 set by Jannik Abel in 1994. They also led the NCAA at the end of the regular season.
