AUSTIN, Texas – Texas soccer junior midfielder Julia Grosso has been tabbed to the 11-member 2020 Preseason All-Big 12 Team, according to a Thursday release by the league office.
For Grosso, this marks the second consecutive season that she's been included as part of the league's annual preseason squad.
A 2019 United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American, Grosso carried the momentum from making Team Canada's roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup right into last season's breakout sophomore campaign for the Longhorns. The Vancouver, British Columbia, native and 2019 All-Big 12 First Team choice wrapped the year tied for the team lead in goals (eight – tied for eighth in the Big 12) and rated second in both assists (eight – tied for fifth in the Big 12) and total points (24 – seventh in the Big 12) while starting 17 matches and playing 1,460 total minutes. She managed to score her eight goals on just 15 shots on goal for an efficiency mark of 53%. Grosso began 2019 by totaling a career-high five points on two goals and an assist during the season-opening, 4-3 win over Gonzaga. For her efforts in the victory over the Bulldogs, she was tabbed to Top Drawer Soccer's National Team of the Week on Aug. 27. Overall, she scored at least two points in a match on seven occasions and registered her first career match-winning goal at the 86:02 mark to top Kansas State (Sept. 29), 1-0.
Texas Tech and defending league regular-season champion Oklahoma State both led the way with three selections, while TCU managed two and Texas, West Virginia and Kansas all rounded out the team with one inclusion each.
