five players on
All-TranSouth team

A landmark women’s soccer season for the Lyon College Pipers has netted the team two first-team and three second-team All-TranSouth Conference selections in a release from the TranSouth Conference office.

So far this season, the Pipers have notched a school-record 13 wins against only four losses. Lyon also made its first appearance in the TranSouth Conference tournament and picked up a 2-0 win over Lambuth, earning a bid in the tournament semifinals.

Leading the list of All-Conference honors were goal keeper Stephanie Henderson and defender Ashley Goheen, who were both named to the All-TranSouth Conference first team.

Henderson, a junior from Yuba City, Calif., picked up a single-season, school-record eight shutouts during the regular season while saving 96 shots on goal. The junior keeper also won a school-record 11 games with a 1.16 goals against average.

Goheen, a junior from Manteca, Calif., assisted on a goal and played a key role in the Pipers defense that allowed only 21 goals in 17 games this year.

The All-TranSouth selections were Goheen’s and Henderson’s first of their careers.

Pipers making second-team All-Conference were defender Allison Morrison, forward Angelique Armenta and midfielder Aurora Alba.

Armenta, a junior from Tucson, Ariz., scored seven goals and assisted on four more to account for 18 points this season.

Morrison, a senior from Little Rock, Ark., scored a goal this year and also played a huge part in the Pipers’ defense this season.

Alba, a sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., had two goals and five assists this season for a total of nine points.

The All-Conference selection was the second for Morrison and the first for Alba and Armenta, respectively.
