RICHARDSON, Texas – Texas Tyler sophomore Morgan Monzingo and Hardin-Simmons senior Katie Haltiwanger received player of the year honors to highlight the 2014 American Southwest Conference women's soccer awards, the ASC office announced Wednesday (Nov. 12) after a vote of the league's head coaches.
Monzingo (Cedar Hill, Texas/Cedar Hill HS) was named the ASC Offensive Player of the Year after leading the league in goals (14) and points (32). Monzingo also recorded top league marks in goals per game (0.93) averaging nearly one goal per contest.
Haltiwanger (Boerne, Texas/Champions HS) is the fifth consecutive Cowgirl named the ASC Defensive Player of the Year. Starting every game for HSU this season, Haltiwanger anchored the best defensive unit in the league. HSU allowed a league-best four goals and recorded 13 shutouts out of 14 regular season games. Haltiwanger also had six goals on the year, four of which were game-winning goals that ranked second in the league.
Mary Hardin-Baylor forward Cameron Shivers (Edmond, Okla./Crossings Christian HS) is the second consecutive Cru soccer player selected as the ASC Offensive Freshman of the Year following Kathryn Parker (2013). Shivers ranked tied for 10th in the ASC in goals with seven, three of which were game-winning goals and also recorded 15 points and had 24 shots-on-goal.
LeTourneau defender Carrye Funk (Lake Jackson, Texas/Brazoswood HS) received the ASC Defensive Freshman of the Year award. Funk started 16 games for the YellowJackets and contributed to an LETU defense that ranked second in the ASC in saves (136) and recorded four shutouts.
Ozarks sophomore Frances Adams (Plano, Texas/Plano HS) was named the ASC Sportsmanship Athlete of the Year.
Howard Payne interim coach Ben Bishop and Texas-Tyler coach Stefani Webb received ASC Co-Coach of the Year awards. In his first season in a head coaching position, Bishop more than doubled HPU’s win total from last season from 4 to 10 wins and returned the team to the ASC Championship Tournament. Webb led the Patriots to their first undefeated season in conference play (7-0-2) and is the first ASC team to defeat Hardin-Simmons in the regular season since 2000, snapping a 171-match unbeaten streak.
Fifteen players made a return trip to the all-conference teams. Three-time honorees include Texas Dallas seniors Nicole Frank, Andrea Guevara and Sarah Borg, Texas-Tyler juniors Chestley Strother and Nikki Gordon, Hardin-Simmons senior Julianne Kucera and junior Lexi Stinson and Concordia Texas senior Alex Price. Two-time honorees include Mary Hardin-Baylor sophomores Kathryn Parker and Courtney Craig, LeTourneau sophomore Stephanie Vana, Concordia Texas senior Jordan James, Louisiana College senior Pamela Usry, East Texas Baptist senior Natalie Torres and Howard Payne sophomore Taylor Bicknell.
Hardin-Simmons, Texas-Tyler and Mary Hardin-Baylor each recorded seven all-conference selections and the Patriots led with six members on the first team. Texas Dallas received six all-conference selections while Howard Payne and Concordia Texas had five each. East Texas Baptist recorded three selections and LeTourneau, Louisiana College and Ozarks each had two players voted all-conference.
