Three Players Earn All-PBC Women's Soccer Honors

SAVANNAH, Ga. (November 1) – Armstrong Atlantic State placed three players on the All-Peach Belt Conference womens’s soccer team for 2007, released today by conference officials prior to Friday’s semifinal matches. Junior Lyndsi Stricklen, sophomore Kristin Burton and freshman Alyssa Anderson each earned All-Conference honors for the No. 24-ranked Pirates.

Stricklen has been an All-PBC player in each of her three seasons with the Pirates, and this year earns the honor as a midfielder for her late-season surge. The Middleburg, Fla., native scored a goal in seven straight matches to end the regular season and ranks second on the squad with eight goals, to go with four assists for 20 points.

Burton followed up her outstanding freshman season last year with another All-PBC campaign, improving on her marks from 2006 with 20 goals and seven assists for 47 points. The Ocala, Fla., native leads the league in game-winning goals with 10 and ranks among the top 10 in the nation in goals per game and points per game.

Anderson becomes just the second defender to earn All-PBC honors for the Pirates. The Niceville, Fla., native helped the Pirates record 10 shutouts in the regular season and also recorded two goals and one assist from her central defender position.

The Pirates have had at least three All-PBC players each year since AASU began the sport in 2005.

The Pirates are next in action on Friday, November 2, in the semifinals of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, taking on Lander at 4:30 p.m. in Columbus, Ga.
