She was also included in the NCAA All-Tournament team in 2000 and the championship-winning 2002 tournament. Hanson was a Soccer Buzz and NSCAA First-Team All-West Region selection, as well as All-WCC selection, from 2000 to 2002, and was chosen as the WCC Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2002.[5] In total, she scored 7 goals and recorded 6 assists in 81 appearances for the Pilots.[6][7][8]
