Roanoke had two women's soccer players represented on the 2009 NSCAA Div. III Women's Soccer All-South Atlantic Region Team announced this week. Junior Jessica Welfare (Roanoke, VA, Hidden Valley)earned second-team honors while senior Alida Haslett (Bryn Mawr, PA, Radnor)was named to the third-team.

Welfare, a local product of Hidden Valley, earned all-region honors for the third-consecutive season. The three-time All-ODAC selection started in all 19 matches while leading the team in shots (60) and shots on goal (33). She finished second on the team in goals (8) and points (18) while posting two assists and two game-winners.

Haslett, from Bryn Mawr, PA, was voted team captain this fall and led the backfield for the Maroons. A two-time All-ODAC selection, she started in all 19 matches this season and 60 of her last 61 games over her career. The three-year starter at defender is a two-sport athlete at Roanoke, as she will start for the defense of the women's lacrosse team in the spring.

The Maroons finished 12-7, 7-4 in the ODAC. They earned a #4 seed and advanced to the ODAC Semifinals, where they fell to top-seed Virginia Wesleyan for the second-straight season. They faced a tough scheduled this season, in which four of their seven losses and five opponents came against teams currently playing in the NCAA Tournament.
