The Meridian Community College women's soccer team had two players named to the 2009 All-Region team following its championship run.

Terri Brown and Christina Murray were both named to the All-Region 23 team following the Eagles' 3-1 victory against host Pearl River Community College on Saturday.

Murray, a sophomore midfielder, compiled 22 goals and nine assists on the season. She also served as captain of this year’s 2009 Region 23 Championship team and was the National Junior College Player of the Week in October.

Brown, a freshman goalkeeper, registered nine “clean sheets” and 140 saves. She started 16 games with 1280 minutes played and only 17 goals allowed all season.

These two All-Region stars will be in action Saturday as the Eagles host the 2009 NJCAA District Championship game versus No. 7 Tyler (Texas) Junior College at Northeast Soccer Complex at 2 p.m. with a berth in the NJCAA national tournament at stake.
