ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Three Tusculum College student-athletes have been named to the 2015 All-South Atlantic Conference Women's Soccer Team announced league officials Wednesday.

Taylor Lewis and Katja Andersson garnered All-SAC second team honors, while Olivia Kilgore received honorable mention recognition.

Lewis, a senior forward from Willingboro, New Jersey, earns All-SAC accolades for a second consecutive year. She led Tusculum in scoring with her eight goals, which were tied for the 10th most in the league. She also dished out three assists to give her 19 total points (T11th in SAC) and her team-leading four match-winning goals are tied for third in the conference, including her overtime winner at Newberry College. From Sep. 9-13, she scored four goals and tallied an assist in wins over King University, Union University and Ohio Dominican University earning her College Player of the Week honors by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA).

The 2014 All-SAC first team choice has scored 29 career goals, which are the sixth-most in program history, while her 71 career points are eighth in the TC record book. She finished her career with 13 match-winning goals, which are tied for the third-most by a Pioneer.

Andersson, a freshman midfielder from Enstaberga, Sweden, finished third on the team in scoring with her six goals, which are tied for 16th in the SAC. She tallied a pair of assists to give her 14 points on the season. Anderson played in all 19 matches and earned a spot in the starting lineup for the last 12 contests. She assisted on the match-winning goal in Tusculum's 1-0 road win at Catawba College (Oct. 24).

Kilgore, a junior defender from Cincinnati, Ohio garnered All-Conference honors for a second straight season, earning second team recognition in 2014. Kilgore started in all 19 matches and played in 1,723 minutes, which were the second-most on the team and played in every second of TC's final 13 contests. Kilgore was credited with a goal and an assist for her three points, while taking seven shots, including four on frame. She anchored the Tusculum defensive backline which accounted for a 1.62 goals against average, including seven shutouts.

Tusculum (9-8-2) ended its season Tuesday with a SAC quarterfinal loss at No. 3-seed Queens University of Charlotte. The Pioneers extend their streak to 18 consecutive years with a non-losing campaign.
