HOUSTON – Led by Defensive Player of the Year Bailey Meyer (Southlake, Texas / Carroll) and Coach of the Year Dylan Harrison, the Trinity University women's soccer team had 14 players recognized on the All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference teams.

Meyer was the Defensive Player of the Year for the third straight season and she is the first player in SCAC soccer history to win the award three times. She led a defense that surrendered just one goal in conference play and has posted seven shutouts in its last eight games. Additionally, Meyer scored a career-high four goals and 11 total points for the Tigers. She is a five-time All-SCAC honoree who was selected to the First Team for the fourth straight year.

Including Meyer, Trinity had six women's soccer players named to the First Team, followed by four more on the Second Team. There were two Tigers that earned Honorable Mention recognition, while four first-years were also chosen for the All-SCAC Freshman Team.

Joining Meyer on the First Team were sophomores Ilsa Newland (St. Louis, Mo. / Kirkwood) and Hanna Khan (Southlake, Texas / Carroll), junior Michaela Bosco (Weatherford, Texas / Weatherford), and seniors Josephine McCray (Fairway, Kan. / Shawnee Mission East) and Kyra Stafford (Albuquerque, N.M. / Hope Christian). Stafford is a three-time All-SCAC honoree, while the other four have all received the honor twice. All six Tigers are repeat selections to the All-SCAC First Team.

Fifth-year Emma Everts (Ft. Worth, Texas / Ponderosa), along with juniors Abby Schneider (Albuquerque, N.M. / Bosque School) and Lauryn Lewis (Carrollton, Texas / Creekview) were all named to the Second Team this season. Sophomore Erin Heath (Lake Jackson, Texas / Homeschool) was Honorable Mention All-SCAC for her first award. Schneider and Heath earned All-SCAC honors for the first time in their careers, while Lewis was an Honorable Mention pick last season. Everts is also a two-time All-SCAC honoree, after earning First Team honors last year to go with this year's award.

First-years Malea Cesar (Portland, Ore. / Sunset), Daryan Willyard (Austin, Texas / Lake Travis), Madisyn Barganski (Corpus Christi, Texas / Flour Bluff), and Kayla Boven (Katy, Texas / Tompkins) were all named to the Freshman Team. Cesar was also an Honorable Mention All-SCAC selection alongside Heath.

This is the second consecutive Coach Staff of the Year honor for the Tigers, and Head Coach Dylan Harrison has now received the honor five times in his eight-year career at Trinity. Assistant Coach Spencer Valdespino has been with the Tigers since 2018, sharing in each of the last four Staff of the Year awards.

Trinity opened SCAC Tournament play in Houston, Texas, today, defeating the University of Dallas 2-0 in the SCAC Semifinals. The Tigers will play in the SCAC Championship match on Sunday, November 5, at 11:00 a.m.
