NEW YORK -- Soccer standout Christine Sinclair of the University of Portland won the Honda-Broderick Cup, taking the trophy Monday as the college woman athlete of the year over Seimone Augustus, Cat Osterman and two others.

Sinclair set an NCAA season mark with 39 goals, surpassing the mark of 37 set by Lisa Cole of SMU in 1987, and led the Pilots to the national championship. She is one of six players in NCAA history with more than 100 goals and 30 assists.

Sinclair became the third soccer player to win in the 30-year history of the award, joining Mia Hamm of Nroth Carolina in 1994 and Cindy Daws of Notre Dame in 1997.

Augustus, the AP women's college basketball player of the year, led LSU to the Final Four this season, and Osterman was a star pitcher at Texas.

The other finalists were Georgia swimmer Mary DeScenza and Alabama gymnast Ashley Miles.

Softball pitcher Kristin Erb of Lock Haven University won the Division II award and basketball player Megan Silva of Randolph-Macon College won the Division III award.
