In November, senior midfielder Aline De Lima helped lead Baylor soccer to its most successful season in school history. The Bears advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament, knocking off Rice, 2016 National Champion USC and Notre Dame before losing to national runner up Duke.
De Lima led the Bears in goals with seven, including three game winners and assists with eight in earning All-American second team by the United Soccer Coaches Association.
On Tuesday, De Lima’s career entered a new chapter as she received a call up to the full Brazilian Women’s National Team, Confederação Brasileira De Futebol (CBF), where she will train for the Copa Amèrica de Chile, which runs April 4-22.
