Tymrak (Lakewood Ranch, Fla./Edison Academic Center) earned All-Southeastern Conference first team honors and was the Most Valuable Player of the SEC Tournament. She ranks fifth among NCAA Division I players with her career-high 13 assists for the season, a total which is tops in the SEC. Tymrak also set collegiate-high totals for goals (6) and points (25) in 2010. She picked up the SEC Offensive Player of the Week honor after scoring both goals in UF’s 2-1 OT win versus then No. 21 Georgia on Oct. 17. Twice during the 2010 season she turned in three assists in a match – versus Mississippi State and versus Georgia in the SEC Tournament semifinal. Last year, Tymrak appeared on the TopDrawerSoccer.com All-Rookie second team.
Travis, the SEC Freshman of the Year, also appeared on the All-SEC second team. She led the SEC with seven assists in league competition and her season total of 11 assists ranks No. 19 in NCAA Division I play. Travis (Cary, N.C./Green Hope H.S.) turned in 17 points and three goals in 2010. She made an immediate impact, as she scored the golden goal to give the Gators a 2-1 win OT over Miami in the season opener. That performance earned her a spot on the CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Performers list. She twice was named the SEC Freshman of the Week and also appeared on the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week after scoring on a 35-yard strike at LSU and turning in a pair of assists versus Arkansas.
During the 2010 season, Florida claimed the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament titles. It held top 10 national rankings in 10 of the 12 NSCAA polls of the season.
