The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2021 Spring All-Conference awards for women's soccer. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the shortening of seasons within the fall and winter sports, in addition to the cancelation of NCAA Championship events, the Conference will be limiting the All-Conference honors to First and Second Team All-Divisional recognition. Additionally, for this season, there will be no individual "of the Year" awards. Finally, the USA South will however still recognize an All-Sportsmanship Team consisting of one member from each competing school as selected by their team.
All awards are voted on by the women's soccer coach at each institution. Due to the imbalance of institution's abilities to compete in non-conference contests, only statistics generated in USA South divisional contests, which were games against teams within their own divisions which counted within the divisional standings, were taken into account by the coaches when casting their votes.
The NC Wesleyan Women's Soccer team had four players named to all-East Division 2nd Team while senior Madison Stace was named to the All-Sportsmanship Team.
Junior forward Khristel Thompson led Welseyan with 3 goals on the season while defenders Emily Ketchum and Emily Sullivan and senior keeper Alicia Jacobs were all rewarded with second team awards.
They will now lead the 3rd seeded Lady Bishops into a East Division Semifinal matchup at Greensboro College on Saturday at 2 PM.
