The Eisenhower and Warren girls soccer teams each had a pair of players selected as region all-stars Sunday.

For the Lady Knights, defense ruled the day as defenders Rachel Frederick (first-team) and Patricia Bortz (second-team) received Region 3 nods.

Their defensive prowess kept Eisenhower in the thick of the Region 3 race. Bortz elevated her game to help the offensive cause as well, while Frederick improved on her shut down defense from a year ago.

"Rachel is an impenetrable force in the back field," Eisenhower coach Diana Elmquist said. "She is a strong leader on the field and gives direction to the entire team.

“Patricia is a blaze of speed and a wall of force and skill as a defender,” she continued. “Her work ethic is second to none . . . and it shows on the field. She is able to outrun almost everyone for the entire 90 minutes.”

In Region 6, Mackenzie Bickling earned a first-team selection, while Jessica Susz earned second-team honors. This is the third straight year each player has been selected to the region all-star team.

Bickling racked up her second-straight 20-goal season in 2018, despite the Dragons being moved into a region that included perennial District 10 powerhouses McDowell and Hickory. Susz, a defenseman, scored a handful of goals for the Dragons, and often led the charge from defense to offense.

Seneca's Madison Hoover was Region 3 Player of the Year, while Hickory's Natalie Bell took home those honors in Region 6.

The full teams follow.
