Five DBU Patriots were named to D2CCA Women's Soccer All-South Central Region Teams on Tuesday.
Annie Severide,
Michelle Gonzalez (Marta),
Rachel Allen,
Parker Coe, and
Haley Roberson earned a spot on teams that were voted for by regional Sports Information Directors. DBU's five selections were the most in the region.
Annie Severide, Marta, and
Rachel Allen were named First Team All-South Central Region selections. Severide earns the honor after a breakout season where she led the Patriots in goals (12), points (28), and shots on frame (25). The sophomore striker has four multi-goal games and ranks top 15 in the nation in game-winning scores (5).
Rachel Allen receives the second All-Region honor of her career. The second-year defender has started all 19 games for DBU this season and ranks third on the team with 1598 minutes played. The Waxahachie, Texas, native has scored a career-high three goals in 2022 and helps lead a DBU defense that ranks top 15 in the country in total goals allowed.
Marta scored 18 points last season to become DBU's first-ever Lone Star Conference Newcomer of the Year. The senior midfielder has already surpassed that total this season (6 goals, 7 assists) to earn the second All-Region bid of her career. Marta has scored or assisted in each of her last three matches to help DBU extend its season-long win streak to 10 games.
Defenders
Parker Coe and
Haley Roberson made their first-ever appearance on the All-Region roster. The duo was named to the second team for their outstanding effort in a Patriot defense that has forced nine shutouts this year. Roberson's 10 assists during the 2022 campaign are the most ever in a single season, tying DBU legends Summerlyn Heller, Abigial Olmos, Ashley Cox, and Allyson Bales. Coe has scored two goals this season and has been a fixture of the starting lineup all year long. The Carrolton, Texas, native has played the full 90 minutes in 13 of DBU's 17 games played and leads all field players with 1603 minutes played.
The Patriots take on No. 9 Colorado School of Mines in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, November 17.
