Nine Belmont Abbey women's soccer players -all but two starters-earned all-conference honors, as Kristin Voirin, Celene Molera, Lauren Faerber and Anna Wells were named to the first team, while Amanda Maddock, Danielle Kubinski, and Nicole Voets were named to the second team, and Connie Axiotis and Rebbeca Mateo were named to the third team. In addition, Molera was named the Conference Player of the Year, while Axiotis was named the Conference Freshman of the Year.

Molera is the Abbey's first Player of the Year since Natalie Monfils took the honor in 2001. Molera, who was also on the first-team, led the league with 14 goals and three assists. She scored a career-high three goals in the win at Converse.

Axiotis is the Abbey's first Freshman of the Year since Jill Barnes in 2004. Axiotis, who was also named to the third-team, was among league and freshman leaders with eight goals and five assists.

Voirin earned first-team honors for the first time in her career after she was a second-team selection this year. Voirin has helped lead a defense that allowed just one goal in Conference play, while scoring two goals and assisting on another.

Faerber, a senior captain, earned the first postseason honor of her career with a first-team nod after leading the league with eight assists. She also scored a goal, while helping lead a defense that allowed just one goal in 11 Conference matches.

Wells earned first-team honors for the second-straight year and is now a three-time all-conference selection after winning a spot on the honorable mention team in 2006. Wells leads the league in fewest goals allowed, goals against average, shutouts and shutouts per game. She has allowed just one goal in Conference play and is currently riding an eight-match unbeaten streak heading into Saturday's final.

Maddock was named to the second team one year after earning first-team honors. She is part of a defense that has allowed one goal in Conference play, while scoring three goals and assisting on four others from her right back position.

Kubinski becomes a four-time all-conference pick with her second-team selection. A first-team honoree last year, Kubinski was also the MVP of the 2005 Conference Tournament as a freshman. This season, she has led the defense from her center back position, where she marks the opposition's top offensive threat. She has scored a pair of goals.

Voets and Mateo were rewarded for their solid freshman seasons with spots on the second and third teams, respectively. Voets, the Abbey's center midfielder, scored five goals, including the golden goal in the win over Mount Olive, while assisting on three others. Mateo is among league and freshman leaders with five goals, four of those going for game winners, while assisting on six others.
