DAHLONEGA — The University of North Georgia women's soccer team had five student-athletes selected to the 2015 D2CCA All-Southeast Region Team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Monday. The five honorees were the second most in the region behind Columbus State's six selections.
Three Nighthawks were tabbed to the first team. Defender Megan Gil, and midfielders Jade Pennock and Sophia Matonak pulled in the honor. It was the second consecutive First Team All-Region honor for Matonak on the CoSIDA voted team. All three of UNG's first team honorees are now eligible for selection to the D2CCA All-America Team.
North Georgia was well represented on the second team as well landing defender Jessica Allen and forward Jacy Ramey on the list. It is the first All-Region honor for both players.
