IRVING, TX — Baylor sophomore Kayley Ables was named to the 2019 Preseason All-Big 12 Soccer team, announced Wednesday by the conference office.
The sophomore defender was the lone Baylor representative on the preseason honors list, with 11 selections voted on by the conference’s coaches.
Ables was one of five defenders chosen to the list. She recorded the most minutes of any freshman on the squad with 2,017 as she started every match she played a year ago. The Waco native is also one of four 2018 Big 12 All-Freshman Team honorees to be voted on the preseason list.
