Alabama Soccer Lands Five On United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region Team

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama soccer team had five student-athletes named a United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region honoree, the organization announced on Tuesday. Felicia Knox, Riley Mattingly Parker and Reyna Reyes were selected as first-team honorees, while Riley Tanner was named to the second team and McKinley Crone was named to the all-region third team.

It is the first time in program history that Alabama has had three student-athletes named First Team All-Southeast Region selections and the second time that the Tide has had five athletes earn regional honors in a single season with the first time occurring in 1998.

Reyes is the first UA athlete to earn all-region distinctions all four years of her career, being named a third-team honoree as a freshman and sophomore and a first-team honoree her junior and senior year. Reyes is also the first player in program history to repeat as a first-team all-region selection.
