Forward Ashley Banks, defender Greer Barnes and midfielder Amanda
Cicchini were named Mid-Atlantic Region first-team selections. The trio
is now eligible for All-America consideration to be announced in the
coming days.
Midfielder Carolyn Blank and forward Deana Everrett were named second
team Mid-Atlantic all-region and forward Megan Mischler was named to the
Mid-Atlantic Freshman all-region squad.
The all-region honor is the third for Cicchini (second team 2005, first
team 2006), second for Everrett (first team 2006) and third for
Izzo-Brown (2000, 2002).
Earlier this month, Izzo-Brown was named the NSCAA’s Regional Coach of
the Year after guiding the Mountaineers to their first NCAA Elite Eight
appearance in school history. WVU put together a record of 18-5-2 with
its 18 wins tying the school record for victories in a season.
Soccer Buzz awards are based on a nomination process open to all NCAA
Division I coaches with voting conducted by select coaches and Soccer
Buzz staff. All 315 schools sponsoring Division I women's soccer in 2007
are eligible for national and regional awards.
