Senior forwards Tonya Johnson (Brooklyn Center, Minn.) and Kalyn Zimmer (Duluth, Minn.) were joined by sophomore defender Emmie McMullin (Omro, Wis.) and freshman forward Jennifer Cline (Green Bay, Wis.) on the all-region squad. Senior goalkeeper Casey Lattu (Columbus, Wis.) was selected as the MVP for her outstanding 2008 season which included six shutouts and a 1.41 goals against average. Every great team is usually led by a great coach and North Central's head coach Jake Smith was recognized as the regional coach of the year. The Lady Rams claimed the region crown after a 9-5-3 season and will travel to Kissimmee, Florida next week to play in the NCCAA DII Women's Soccer National Championship Tournament. NCU earned the automatic bid with a 1-0 shutout of second seed Providence College last Saturday.
