Tusculum College senior forward Tramicka James and senior defender Kourtney Kavic have been named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tire Division II All-Southeast Region Women's soccer team, the NSCAA announced Tuesday.

James, a first-team selection, becomes the first player in program history to earn NSCAA All-Region honors four times in a career, while third-team honoree Kavic becomes the 32nd All-Region honoree since Tusculum joined Division II for the 1999 season.

James finished her senior season with 11 goals and seven assists for 29 points in 18 matches for the Pioneers, who finished 12-3-3 and advanced to the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference semifinals.

The Wilson, N.C. native finished the season ranked third in the SAC in goals, tied for third in assists and tied for second in points to earn first-team All-Conference recognition. James' average of 1.61 points per match ranks her 32nd in the final NCAA Division II rankings, while her five game-winning goals were tied for 19th nationally. James also ranked 42nd in total points and 48th in goals per game at 0.61.

James, who is also the only player in program history to earn Daktronics All-Region status four times in a career, was a first-team NSCAA All-Region selection in 2009 and 2010 and a second-team honoree in 2011. Also a four-time All-SAC honoree, she wrapped up her Pioneer career ranked third in school history with 54 goals, sixth with 23 assists and third with 131 points.

Kavic (Oakville, Ontario) is a first-time selection to the All-Region team after starting all nine conference matches and helping the Pioneers allow just 40 shots on goal in SAC play, the second-lowest total in the league.

She helped the Pioneer defense record nine shutouts in 18 matches, including a stretch in which Tusculum allowed just two goals in a span of eight matches. As a team, the Pioneers ranked 37th in the final Division II statistics in goals against average (0.79), 32nd in shutout percentage (0.50) and 26th in winning percentage (.750).

Kavic is a four-year starter who recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in 74 career matches for the Pioneers, playing the last two years on defense after spending her first two seasons up front.

Tusculum's 12 wins in 2012 mark the 15th time in the 16-year tenure of head coach Mike Joy that the Pioneers have reached double figures in victories. The Pioneers have had 18 NSCAA All-Region honorees in that time span, including at least one first-team selection in 10 different seasons.
