MANSFIELD, Mass. – Saint Rose's Mia Klammer, the Northeast-10 Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Year, was selected as East Region Player of the Year by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) to highlight All-Region awards. Overall, there were 19 NE10 players named to All-Region teams by the D2CCA and United Soccer Coaches.
Klammer earns her second-straight D2CCA East Region Player of the Year honor, following a season where she led top-ranked Saint Rose to its fourth-consecutive NE10 Women's Soccer Championship.
Adelphi and Saint Rose tied with a league-high five players (10 total) named to All-Region teams, while combining for eight players selected to the First Team for D2CCA and United Soccer Coaches. Franklin Pierce was close behind with four players earning All-Region honors.
