STANFORD, Calif. - Junior Corinne Zanolli and senior Kelsey Bing each picked up All-America honors by Longstreth/NFHCA, following a season that saw both players near the top of their respective statistical categories for the bulk of the year. Zanolli, a first-team selection, is now a two-time All-American after earning second-team accolades last year, while Bing's second-team honor marks the second time the goalkeeper has been named an All-American after landing on the third-team as a freshman in 2016.

The awards mark the first time Stanford has had two All-Americans since 2016.

Zanolli, the first from Stanford to be named a first-team All-American since 2014 and seventh player in program history to do so, concluded her season as the America East Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row, finishing the year tied for the nation's lead with 33 goals. Her average of 1.43 goals per game ranked second in the country, while she also produced six hat tricks in 2019 and led Stanford with eight game-winning goals. Zanolli has been named first-team All-Region all three years with the Cardinal.

Bing, a three-time America East Goalkeeper of the Year, started all but one game in the cage for the Cardinal, making 123 saves and boasting a 1.47 GAA, along with two shutouts and a .788 save percentage, the fifth-best mark in the nation. The only game Bing missed was a Senior Night victory on Nov. 1 against UC Davis, as she competed as the starting goalkeeper for Team USA in its International Hockey Federation (FIH) qualifier on Nov. 1-2 against India.

Bing and Zanolli are the 10th and 11th in Stanford program history to be named All-Americans in multiple years, while Bing is the first Cardinal goalkeeper to earn All-American status in multiple years. 

Stanford finished 2019 at 16-7 overall, advancing to its 17th NCAA Tournament following an America East Conference Tournament championship. The Cardinal picked up a win in the opening round against Miami (Ohio), before falling to No. 1 seed and eventual national champion, North Carolina.
