Pair of Women's Soccer Players Net All-Region Honors

SAN ANTONIO – For the second-straight season, St. Mary's Women's Soccer standout Megan Copeland has been named to the Division 2 Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) South Central All-Region team.
 
Copeland, a senior from San Antonio, was a Second-Team selection last season and earns a First-Team nod this year, while senior forward Juni Ejere (Weatherford, Texas) was tabbed on the Second-Team for her first-ever award by the group.
 
Copeland wrapped up her final campaign with a school-record tying five game-winning goals in 2022. She had 18 points (seven goals, four assists) and helped the Rattlers reach their first-ever NCAA Tournament. She was named to the Lone Star All-Conference First Team twice and the All-Tournament team.
 
Ejere led the Rattlers with 11 goals, adding 25 points, despite missing three games during the season. She was also a two-time First-Team All-Conference pick for the Gold & Blue, chipping in three game winning goals.
 
The Rattlers were one of seven teams in the South Central Region with multiple selections to the two teams. DBU led with five picks, while West Texas A&M added four. Copeland and the other First-Team selections will all be forwarded to the All-America ballot, which will be released on Nov. 30.
