CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charleston Southern sophomore midfielder Elin Persson was named first team All-Big South, and four other Bucs were recognized as conference all-starts in voting by the league's head coaches.
Senior Erin Rush and sophomore Jenea Knight were chosen to the second team, Kiah Cirino was selected to the all-freshman team and graduate student Dakota Fiedler was tabbed to the all-academic team.
Persson was second on the team with four goals while starting all 17 games in her first season at CSU after transferring from Iowa State. She scored goals against Campbell and USC Upstate, the top two teams in the conference, with her tally against the Spartans sealing a 2-0 victory.
Rush led the Bucs and is tied for seventh in the Big South with five assists while adding three goals, including three game winners, to rank second on the team with 11 points. Rush played in 74 games with 54 starts and had career totals of five goals, 12 assists and 22 points.
Knight paced CSU with six goals and had four assists for a team-high 16 points. She is tied for fifth in the conference in goals and tied for seventh in points while also ranking third in shots (46) and shots on goal (21). Knight had a pair of two-goal games against Brewton-Parker and South Carolina State.
Cirino started all 17 games and helped lead a CSU defense that recorded six shutouts including four in conference play. She played 1,435 minutes, the most by any field player, and went the full 90 minutes 12 times and was off the pitch for only seven minutes in Big South matches.
Fiedler is on the Big South All-Academic Team for the second time. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 3.99 grade point average, and is currently enrolled in graduate school studying criminal justice. Fiedler had eight goals and eight assists for 24 points in 59 career games.
