ECAC Announces 2016 Division III South Women's Soccer All-Stars
DANBURY, Conn. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has announced its 2016 Division III South Women’s Soccer All-Star Team.
Meg Van de Loo of Johns Hopkins University claimed the Offensive Player of the Year honor, with Rachel Weyand from Penn State Behrend taking home the Defensive Player of the Year. Betsy Warren from Chatham University captured the Coach of the Year award.
Van de Loo had a record-setting senior campaign for the Blue Jays. In her final season, she scored 25 goals and 59 points in 22 games, which are single-season records for Johns Hopkins. The forward scored a goal in 16-straight matches, en route to breaking another school record. Her 25 goals are tied for second among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) DIII players this season. In addition to her academic honors from CoSIDA and the Centennial Conference, Van de Loo was named the 2016 Centennial Player of the Year.
Weyand was selected as Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Defensive Player of the Year after helping the Lions post nine shutouts in 16 wins this season. During AMCC conference play, the defense only conceded three goals in nine contests. Weyand also scored two goals and had four assists for eight points in 21 games this season.
Warren led the Cougars to its most successful season in program history, posting an 11-6-2 overall record and 6-3 mark in the President’s Athletic Conference (PAC) while advancing to their first-ever PAC Championship Tournament. Under Warren the Cougars earned a bid in the ECAC Division III Women’s Soccer Championship. Warren was awarded the PAC Coach of the Year award.
