ENMU's Lopez shares newcomer award

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Eastern New Mexico sophomore forward Ariel Lopez was named co-Newcomer of the Year for the Lone Star Conference, as four Greyhounds were honored with selections to the all-LSC women's soccer teams Thursday evening.

Conference regular season champion and tournament host Angelo State had nine total selections on the team, revealed during the banquet the evening preceding the LSC semifinals. Awards were selected by the conference's nine head coaches.

Lopez shared top newcomer honors with ASU's Cassandra Moosburger. Freshman defender Keyara Zuniga was ENMU's lone first-team selection, while the other three were second-team nods - Lopez, defender Hayden Zuniga and goalkeeper Alejandra Camarillo.

Individual awards for the Rambelles included Moosburger, Trenadey Scott as both player of the year and forward of the year, Sammy Cude as goalkeeper of the year and coach Travis McCorkle earning coach of the year honors.

It is the fourth coach award in the last five seasons for McCorkle, who served as Eastern's first women's soccer coach in 2002.

Remaining individual awards were taken by Texas A&M-Commerce, with Delaney Bunselmeyer as defensive player of the year, Michelle Kotlik as midfielder of the year and Leslie Campuzano freshman of the year.
