GREENVILLE, N.C. - Several members of the East Carolina women's soccer team have earned recognition on both the Conference USA All-Conference Teams and the C-USA All-Academic Team.
Junior defender Kat Norris was named first team all-conference while sophomore goalkeeper Amber Campbell was a C-USA second team selection. This is the second straight postseason honor for Norris, as she was named second-team all-conference last season. Midfielder Sarah Kirkley represents the Lady Pirates as a member of the C-USA All-Freshman squad.
Norris is a mainstay on the Lady Pirate defense. She has started all 18 games this season and has recorded two assists.
Campbell has played all but 65:06 in goal for ECU this season. Campbell was named NCSAA National Player-of-the-Week and also earned a spot on the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week for the last week of the regular season.
Kirkley is a spark in the Lady Pirate midfield. As a freshman, she currently ranks first on the team in assists (10) and second in points (14).
Nicole Moore, a sophomore exercise physiology major, was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team. Earlier in the season, Moore was named to the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week. Along with Erin Johnson of Marshall, Moore is the only member of the team that boasts a perfect 4.0 GPA.
The all-academic team consists of 11 student-athletes that have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or better and are a starter or key reserve on the women's soccer team. Six Lady Pirates received honorable mention recognition in Jami Dickerson, Blair Heffner, Rachel Hills, Madison Keller, Patty Pierce and Mary Puckett.
