The women's soccer team has made huge strides under Head Coach Julie Cochran in its three-year history, falling just short of a Big West Conference title this season.

"We were literally a tie away from winning the whole thing," Cochran said. "The future is absolutely huge."

For her work this season, Cochran was selected Big West women's soccer coach of the year, the first such accolade of her coaching career.

"It's nice to be recognized by your peers," she said." I'm a little bit humbled by it, but it's a bit more representative of the team's success. The coach doesn't play."

Cochran was not the only member of the team earning recognition from the conference.

Midfielder Jennifer Reott

Midfielder Jennifer Reott was an all-conference first team selection, the second time she has been honored. The senior was a second team selection last year.

"I'm thrilled for Jennifer because she was one of our founding members," Cochran said.

Junior defender Amber Glende was selected to the second team and making the honorable mention list were sophomore defender Becky Ricci and junior midfielder Caitlin Murphy.

"I'm a little disappointed we didn't have more on the first and second team because we were strong defensively," Cochran said.

Noticeably absent from the lists was freshman goalkeeper Hannah Cochrun who posted four shutouts on the season.
