KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The National Soccer Coaches Association of America has named Tennessee's Hannah Wilkinson and Allie Sirna to its 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Women's All-South Region Teams.
Wilkinson was named to the All-South Region Second Team and Sirna received Third Team honors. Wilkinson previously earned NSCAA All-South Region First Team honors in 2012.
Wilkinson led Tennessee with 21 points off nine goals and three assists. She played a big role in Tennessee's late season run deep into the SEC Tournament, tallying four goals and two assists in the final five games. She received SEC All-Tournament Team honors and has been recognized as one of the top players in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer as she was ranked No. 36 on its midseason Top 100 list. In November, the NCAA granted Wilkinson an athletics activity waiver, extending her eligibility to play through the 2015 season.
Sirna anchored a Tennessee defense that posted seven shutouts in 2014. She was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team, tying for the team lead with 290 minutes played on the back line during Tennessee's run to the SEC Tournament semifinals. Sirna was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week on Sept. 9, marking the fourth time in her career that she had earned that honor. She played wire-to-wire in 28 shutouts in her career, tying for fourth-most by a defensive field player in school history. Her 7,823 career minutes played ranks sixth in Tennessee history.
