Ruth Parkes is undoubtedly the best women’s soccer player in CCAA and Cal Poly Pomona history.

Parkes earned All-CCAA honors in each of her four seasons and received All-America recognition in her final three seasons with the Broncos.

In her four-year (1997-2000) college career, the forward collected 76 goals and 29 assists for a total of 181 points, placing her atop the Conference record books in all three categories.

As a junior Parkes led the Broncos to an overall record of 17-6-1 and a CCAA record of 12-3 en route to the program’s first-ever outright Conference title and an NCAA Division II National Championship final appearance.
