Barbosa is All-American
in Division III soccer

Senior defender Trisha Barbosa of Williams College (Mass.) has been honored as a first team All-American in Division III women's soccer by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Barbosa, a 1998 Punahou graduate, was a three-year starter and helped the Ephs to a 13-0 record in the New England Small College Athletic Conference this year and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.

She led a defense that gave up less than a goal a game.

Williams coach Lisa Melendy, also a Punahou graduate, retired at the end of the recently completed season with a career record of 195-55-1. She coached 19 All-Americans in 17 seasons.
