As the sole second team recipient for the Tigers this year, Wavomba followed up her 2008 Freshman of the Year campaign by amassing four goals, four assists, 12 points and 44 shots in all 19 games this season. In the Big West Conference, Kristina finished eighth among all players in shots, averaging 2.32 per game. Her four assists put her in ninth among all Big West players, as she averaged 0.21 per game. Wavomba''s goals came towards the second half of the 2009 season, as she found the back of the net against Portland State, Air Force, UC Davis and UC Riverside. In that contest against UC Davis on Oct. 18, Wavomba''s goal against the Aggies came in the game''s 12th minute, as Pacific went on to defeat UC Davis, 2-1, during the game''s final seconds. Wavomba also had a hand in the Tigers'' two goals against USC, as she recorded two assists in that contest on Sept. 25. Her other two assists came against Fresno State on Sept. 18 and at UC Riverside on Oct. 30. Not only did Kristina prevail on the soccer field, but her efforts in the classroom were also recognized as the sophomore''s name landed on the 2009 Fall Academic All-Big West Team. 2008 (Freshman):
For the first time in program history and the first time since the inception of the award in 2001, the Tigers took home the Big West Conference Freshman of the Year award when Wavomba was given the honor upon conclusion of the 2008 postseason. Playing her first season of collegiate soccer, Kristina proved to be one of the conference''s top scorers, notching a team-leading eight goals during her inaugural campaign, a total that tied her for sixth in the conference. Twice during the season Wavomba posted multiple goals. She netted two in the Tigers'' 3-1 victory over Iona on Sept. 19 and then again in Pacific''s 4-1 win over UC Riverside on Oct. 12. Over her eight strikes, three were of the game-winning variety as she led the Tigers to victory over Nevada, Iona and UC Davis during the season. On the year, Wavomba totaled 17 points, ranking her just outside of the conference''s top-10, but No. 1 among all freshmen. For her efforts she was also named Second Team All-Big West Conference.
