ROCK HILL, SC ? Presbyterian placed three women's soccer players on the SAC Women's All-Conference teams, the league announced on Tuesday.

Claire Joyce and Lindsay Leffler were both chosen to the first team, while Lytle Cannon was selected as a second team member.

Joyce made the first team as midfielder. The Aiken, S.C. native has scored a team-high eight goals this season and obtained a team-best seven assists to enter tonight's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Soccer Championship Quarterfinal match against Tusculum with 23 total points.

Joyce is currently second all-time in program history in total assists with 27 and fifth in career goals with 31.

A second-team member last season, Joyce has acquired all-league plaudits in all four of her seasons playing with the Blue Hose.

Leffler not only joins Joyce as a first team member this season, but also as a four-year all-conference performer.

Leffler was a second team choice last year as well, but the defender earned first team accolades this season after a 2006 regular season that saw her serve as a team captain.

Not known as a scorer, entering the 2006 season with only one career goal, Leffler concluded the regular season with two goals.

In her sophomore season at PC, Cannon really began to come into her own, ending the season second on the team in goals and assists with 6 netters and 6 assists.

Carson-Newman's Rebecca Angus, a senior forward from Middlesborough, England who led the South Atlantic Conference in scoring with 1.23 goals per match, was named the 2006 South Atlantic Conference women's soccer Player-of-the-Year, earning the award for the second time in her career.

Mars Hill College freshman Caity Murnahan who had five goals and three assists in her rookie season, was named Freshman-of-the-Year.

Carson-Newman's Phil McNamara, who guided the Lady Eagles to their third conference title in four years, was selected Coach-of-the-Year. He wins the award for the second time in his career.

The Scholar Athlete Award for women's soccer went to Heather Schlick of Wingate University, a senior Spanish major with a minor in communications who was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American last year.

Joining Angus on the All-Conference team from Carson-Newman were midfielder Brittany Moore and defender Julie Nelson on the first team. Forward Christie Murray, midfielders Erica Stegner and Zarmena Kasparites and defender Stacey Thomas were named to the second team.

Conference runner-up Tusculum placed five on the All-Conference team, led by goalkeeper Whitney Waldrop on the first team. Forwards Becky Carreiro and Kelly Barron, midfielder Theresa Christie and defender Ashley Moreira were named to the second team.

Catawba and Newberry each placed four on the All-SAC squad, with Newberry getting a pair of first team selections.
