Five Women's Soccer Players Tabbed All-Conference

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Elms College senior Michelle Rossignol (Manchester, Conn.), juniors Kathleen Tuechler (Farmingdale, N.Y.) and Rachel Connell (Easthampton, Mass.), and sophomore Brie Voight (Springfield, Mass.) and Jackie Soucia (Belchertown, Mass.) were tabbed as 2015 New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Women's Soccer All-Conference selections, released by the league office Monday.

Rossignol received her third career All-Conference award, and second First Team selection with 2015 First Team All-Conference honors. Rossignol claimed First Team honors in 2013, and Second Team honors in 2014. As a senior captain, Rossignol appeared in 20 games, making 19 starts in the Blazers midfield, while tallying 22 points with nine goals, including a league-high five game-winning goals, and four assists.

Voight was an offensive force for the Blazers, recording a team-high 35 points with a team-high 16 goals and three assists en route to a 2015 First Team All-Conference selection. Voight ranked second in the NECC in goals, and third in the conference in points. Voight had the second-best single season mark for goals in program history, falling one goal shy of Jen Killion's single-season high of 17 goals in the 2010 season.

Tuechler collected her first conference award, earning a 2015 First Team All-Conference designation. As a defender, Kathleen racked up 11 points on the season with a career-high five goals and one assist. Tuechler helped anchor a Blazer defensive line that limited opponents to .71 goals per game on 6.6 shots per game.

Soucia earned 2015 Second Team All-Conference status in her second season with the Blazers. Jackie posted 17 points this season with a team-high 11 assists and three goals. Soucia was tied for the league lead in assists, while adding 42 shots. Soucia set a program record for assists in a season, breaking the record set by Christina Goodchild in 2011.
