The Senior CLASS awards for NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer announced that Alabama State goalkeeper Kylee Hathaway was named to the Second Team.
The award, chosen by a vote of Division I women’s soccer coaches, national soccer media and fans, is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in Division I women’s soccer. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – classroom, community, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete in 10 NCAA sports and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The senior from Pomona, Calif. is the all-time leader in school history in career shutouts with 17 and saves with 495.
Hathaway enjoyed another successful season in which she tallied five shutouts and made 131 saves. The saves total is the fourth highest single-season mark in Alabama State history.
She also set the school record for goals against average (1.56) in 2013 and the single-season record for most shutouts in a season with five on three occasions (2014, 2013, and 2012).
In the classroom, she majored in business management and scored a 3.52 grade-point average. A member of the Dean’s List, she was also selected to the Southwestern Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.
As a leader on and off the field, Hathaway is a Golden Ambassador and a member of the pathways program. Outside of school, she works with the Nehemiah Center and the Special Olympics of Alabama.
“She’s meant a lot to us in goal and been a four-year starter,” said ASU women’s soccer coach Jodie Smith. She’s got pretty much every goal-keeping record that we have in the program. She was a leader on the field for us and kept us in many games and has done a lot in the community. To be recognized is a great final piece for her career here.”
