CENTRAL, SC – Three freshman women’s soccer players along with one junior anchored the All South Region Women’s Soccer Team this season. 

Freshman Ashley Bradford, who ranked most of the season as the number two offensive player in the NCCAA, was atop of the team’s statistical categories all season. She netted 23 season goals and 9 assists for 55 total points. Bradford blew previous the records for season goals (13) and season points (30) out of the water this year by 10 goals and 25 points. The native of Chesapeake and graduate of Hickory High School accounted for two game-winning goals this season against Southern Virginia and Methodist College while also compiling eight multiple goal games, including 4 season hat tricks. 

Joining Bradford on the All South Region Team is fellow freshman Clara Danzeisen. She netted 8 goals and 5 assists for 21 points this season. The Richmond native was the squad’s second leading scorer this season. 

Two defenders were named to the All Region team in junior Stephanie Montague and freshman Erin Jackson. Montague helped the Hawks to four shut outs and two ties on the defensive side of the ball. She also scored five goals on the year for ten points. Jackson also helped solidify the back line, aiding in those four season shutouts. The Norfolk native accounted for two goals from the back line this season. 

The Hawks wrapped up their 2006 season at the NCCAA South Region Tournament last week where they finished in 2nd place. They entered the tournament as the #4 seed and in their first match knocked off #1 ranked Faulkner University to advance to the championship match. They eventually fell to #2 ranked Palm Beach Atlantic University 3-0 and ended the year with a 9-10-2 overall record.
