Falcone and Peddicord Lead 11 Trinity Women's Soccer All-SCAC Honorees

San Antonio - Seniors Kelsey Falcone and Kirby Peddicord headed a group of 11 players who received All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer honors, and Head Coach Lance Key also earned top honors.

Coach Key was named the SCAC Women's Soccer Tri-Coach of the Year. Falcone was elected the SCAC Offensive Player of the Year, and Peddicord was named Defensive Player of the Year.

It marked the seventh time in 11 seasons Coach Key was honored by his peers as the league's top coach. He guided Trinity to a ninth SCAC title under his mentorship, and sixth in a row.  Third-ranked Trinity defeated Texas Lutheran University 3-0 on November 9 to claim the title on its home turf.

Falcone was earlier chosen as the SCAC Tournament Offensive Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year.  This season, Falcone has produced 18 goals and 14 assists, for 50 points. Falcone and senior Emily Jorgens became the only two players in Trinity history to chalk up more than 40 career goals and assists. With this year's selection, Falcone is now a four-time All-SCAC recipient.

Peddicord, also a four-time All-SCAC honoree, anchored a non-forgiving Tiger defense which has allowed only six goals, an average of 0.29 per game.  She contributed one goal and three assist to the offensive cause, in addition to anchoring a unit that has shut out its opponents 15 times this season.

Jorgens joined her teammates on the All-SCAC First Team. The four-time all-conference recipient has a team-leading 19 goals and 26 assists, for 64 points. The two-time SCAC Offensive Player of the Year became Trinity's all-time leading career scorer, with 59 goals, in Trinity's 7-0 win over Austin College in the SCAC semifinals. Jorgens earlier broke Trinity's career record for assists and points scored.

Seniors Devan Osegueda, Shelby Hopkins, and Hannah Kuhl, along with junior Kimberly Polasek were all on the All-SCAC First Team as well.  Osegueda is a two-time All-Conference selection, while Hopkins was the SCAC Tournament Defensive MVP this season.  Polasek earned honors for the second time.

Junior Maggie Olvera received the nod for the All-SCAC Second Team. All-SCAC Honorable Mention recognition went to junior Emily Donnan, sophomore Yasmeen Farra, and first-year player Colleen Markey.

The Tigers earned the conference automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Playoffs, and currently stands 20-0-1 this season.  Coach Key will guide his team to the tournament for the 10th time. Trinity will host the first and second rounds Saturday and Sunday. The Tigers meet the University of Texas-Tyler at 5:00 p.m. Saturday. The winner plays in Sunday's second round at 5:00 p.m., against  the winner of Hardin-Simmons University and the University of Redlands.
