ANDERSON, S.C. -- After leading the Anderson women's soccer team to its most wins in school history and the third seed in the Conference Carolinas' tournament this week, freshmen Jessica Kleinberg and Ashley Cotton, along with junior Katelyn Conover have been recognized as all-conference performers, as announced by the conference office Thursday afternoon. Kleinberg was named to the first team after starting 17 contests for the Trojans, earning conference Player of the Week honors twice. She finished the regular season ranked in the top 10 in seven offensive categories, including first in the conference in shots, shots per game and tied for first in the conference in game-winning goals in league play. The Hamilton, Ohio native leads the Trojans with team with 22 points on the strength of a team-high nine goals, including four game-winners overall and has four assists. The 5-foot-3 forward closed the season with a flourish, earning one of her Player of the Week honors the final week of the season, as AU claimed the third seed in the tourney. "I am very pleased that Jessica was named to the first team because she was the most threatening player in an arsenal of attackers that seemed to never quit," said Anderson head coach Jason Dowiak. "This is a well deserved honor." Cotton and Conover were selected to the second team following a regular season that saw the Trojans start slowly but build into a force to be reckoned with during the second half of the season. Cotton earned conference Player of the Week honors on Oct. 28 after notching a hat-trick in the road win at Coker and scored six goals in the span of three matches, including two game-winners. The native of Sumpter, S.C., is second on the team with 15 points behind seven goals, including the pair of game-winners, and an assist and boasts a team-best shots on goal percentage of .615. Conover, a 5-foot-6 defender from Simpsonville, S.C., notch a goal in AU's win at Coker and recorded an assist on the game-winning goal versus Belmont Abbey in late September. She has helped anchor a defense that has posted three consecutive shutouts down the stretch. "Katelyn Conover has been working so hard since her freshman year to be the best player she can be and her God-given athletic talents are truly now being complimented by her strong technical ability and tactical awareness," Dowiak added. "As for Ashley Cotton, this maybe the biggest accomplishment seeing as how she is a freshman walk-on. To have three players named All-Conference is an awesome tribute to what our team as a whole has done this season," "I am so proud of this team and the statements we've made this year. We've taken drastic steps forward as a program and having players honored with All-Conference awards is a testament to where we are headed." Anderson is riding a school-record eight-match win streak as the Trojans play host to seventh-seeded Limestone in the semifinals of the conference tournament tonight at the AU Soccer Field.
