San Antonio - Trinity seniors Kelsey Falcone and Shelby Hopkins led a group of eight Tiger players elected to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer All-Tournament Team.

Falcone was named Offensive Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year. Hopkins took home Defensive MVP honors.

The third-ranked Tigers (20-0-1) captured their sixth consecutive SCAC Championship with shutout victories at home last weekend over Austin College (7-0) and Texas Lutheran University (3-0). Coach Lance Key guided the team to its ninth conference title in his 11 seasons at the Tigers helm.

Falcone scored the eventual game-winner in both of the Tiger tournament victories - including Sunday's title matchup with Texas Lutheran. She finished the semifianl with two goals against Austin, giving her a tournament-best three goals over the weekend.  Falcone was named to the All-Tournament Team for the third straight time.

Hopkins, also a three-time All-Tournament selection, assisted Falcone's game-winner in the championship tilt. She paced a taut Tiger defense which did not yield a shot in the two tournament games played by top-seeded Trinity.

Emily Jorgens was named to the All-Tournament Team for the third time. Kirby Peddicord was also a repeat selection, having made the All-Tournament Team in 2012.

Also selected for this year's All-Tournament Team were Hannah Kuhl, Devan Osegueda, Maggie Olvera, and Kimberly Polasek.

Trinity also secured the conference automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. The Tigers will host the first and second rounds Saturday and Sunday.  Trinity meets the University of Texas-Tyler, which received votes in the National Soccer Coaches Association Poll, at 5:00 p.m. Saturday. The winner plays in the second round at 5:00 p.m. Sunday, against the winner of No. 18 Hardin-Simmons University and the University of Redlands.  Those teams play at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, at Trinity's field.
