2023 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division II Women's All-Southeast Region (PDF)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Carson-Newman women's soccer senior Abbie Zander (Baneberry, Tenn.) was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region third-team, as announced yesterday.
Zander's all-region honor is C-N's first region honor since it placed five players on the All-Southeast Region teams in 2018.
"This means a lot," Zander said. "It just shows that hard work does pay off. Just to be able to have that honor is awesome and to be able to give it to my team is great."
Zander earns her first career all-region honor, and her fourth career honor. The senior defender scored three goals and added one assist from a defensive spot this season. Her first goal of the year came in a tie at Young Harris on September 6th. She scored her other two goals in home wins over Emory & Henry and Bluefield State. The goal-scoring has come with efficiency. 10 of her 17 shots this season have hit the target.
The senior is the only player that has started in every game for Carson-Newman the past two seasons. She completes her time with C-N, scoring eight goals and adding eight assists in 56 career games.
