KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Penn State Harrisburg women's soccer player Diana Pon has been named an All-American by the United Soccer Coaches.
Pon was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Third Team. She is the first player in program history to earn all-America accolades of any kind.
Pon turned in one of the best all-around seasons in the country this fall, ranking eighth in the nation in total points (48), ninth in total assists (12), 11th in game-winning goals (6), 14th in total goals (18) and 18th in shot accuracy (.676). For her efforts, she recently secured first-team all-region recognition from the United Soccer Coaches to go along with College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honors. She was also named to the United East All-Conference First Team after earning a pair of conference offensive player of the week awards during the 2025 campaign.
Earlier this season, Pon converted the game-winning penalty kick in a memorable shutout victory over No. 4 Messiah in mid-October before netting a goal and assisting on the game-winning score in a thrilling NCAA Tournament win over No. 14 Christopher Newport in November. The team captain helped lead Penn State Harrisburg to a program-record 16 victories, a second consecutive conference championship, a pair of NCAA Tournament victories and the first trip to the Sweet Sixteen in school history.
This fall, the Miami, Fla. native set the single-season program record for points and assists and matched the single-season mark for game winners while ranking second in goals scored. One of the most productive players of her era, Pon wrapped up her illustrious career ranking fourth among active NCAA Division III players in career assists (33), ninth in total points (131) and 11th in goals (49). She completed her career as one of just five active players to record 40 goals and 30 assists.
