Lakers place two on All-Peach Belt Conference Team
for women’s soccer
Udoh, Sunbul represent Clayton State on All-Conference squad
AUGUSTA,
Ga. --- OCTOBER 27, 2006 ---
The Peach Belt Conferenc e
released its 2006 All-Conference team for women’s soccer on Friday, and
the Clayton State Lakers placed two players on the All-Conference team.
Selected for the All-Peach Belt team for the Lakers was forward Nkese
Udoh and midfielder Yasemin Sunbul. The team was selected by the votes
submitted by the Peach Belt women’s soccer head coaches. Udoh was
selected All-Peach Belt Conference for a second straight season, while
this is the first All-Conference selection for Sunbul.
With two-time All-American Olaitan Yusuf missing half of the season with
an injury, Udoh had to take up much of the scoring slack in her place.
And she did. The 5-6 senior from River-State, Nigeria, Udoh is the
Lakers’ leading scorer this season with 10 goals and seven assists for
27 points. Her best game was a hat tr ick
against Georgia Southwestern.
In two seasons, Udoh has scored 28 goals with 14 assists for 72 points
to rank amongst the best all-time in scoring at Clayton State.
Another player that had to take up more of a scoring punch this season
was Sunbul. The 5-8 junior from Dusslinger, Germany has responded with
eight goals and two assists for 18 points. Her best game was a two-goal
performance against Lander.
Clayton State (17-8), seeded third, puts its seven-game winning streak
on the line against Armstrong Atlantic in the semifinals of the 2006
Peach Belt Conference Tournament at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Columbus
State. |
