FREDERICK, Md.--Junior Justina Miller, sophomore Crystal Parker and freshman Brandy Noel of the Hood College field hockey team were named to the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference first team as announced by the league office Monday.

Miller cops her second consecutive all-league certificate after earning first team honors as a sophomore. A starter in all 15 games this season, she tied for the team lead in goals with five and points with 12. Miller recorded game-winning goals against Wells on Sept. 9 and Mary Baldwin on Oct. 28. She was also recognized by the conference as the "Player of the Week" on Oct. 18.

Parker was an honorable mention choice as a freshman and earns her first first-team honor this season. A local product of Urbana high school, Parker appeared in all 15 games and is one of the teamýs best defenders. Although she did not figure statistically this season, head coach Staci Thomson considers her to be a solid all-around player who has excellent field vision.

Noel had an outstanding freshman campaign for the Blazers. She tied for top honors with Miller in scoring with five goals and two assists. Noel notched back-to-back multi-goal games, the first against Rosemont on Oct. 14 and the second against AWCC foe Mary Baldwin on Oct. 28.

Wilson's Jennifer Huseman was selected as the league's "Most Outstanding Player" while Phoenix head coach Shelly Novak was tabbed the "Coach of the Year." In addition, Notre Dame's Ashley Demski was chosen as the "Newcomer of the Year."

The Blazers finished the 2006 campaign with a record of 3-12 overall and owned a 2-2 AWCC mark.
