2017 UNITED SOCCER COACHES DIVISION III WOMEN'S SOCCER ALL-NORTH REGION TEAM

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg University women's soccer forward Ashley St. Aubin (SO, Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville HS) and defender Lauren Jennings (SR, Rochester, Minn./Lourdes HS) were named to the United Soccer Coaches Division III All-North Region Team on Tuesday, St. Aubin as a first-team honoree and Jennings as a third-team honoree.

The award is the latest for St. Aubin, who was also named earlier this month as the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Year on Offense, in addition to being named to the All-MIAC team. She has also earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors this season. Last year, St. Aubin earned All-MIAC and MIAC Rookie of the Year honors, in addition to being named to the NSCAA All-North Region second team.

Jennings joined St. Aubin on the 2017 All-MIAC squad. It is her first appearance on the All-North Region squad.

12936In 2017, St. Aubin continued her career as the conference's most dynamic scorer, leading the MIAC's overall statistics for the second straight year in both goals (16) and points (36), adding four assists. In MIAC games-only, her 11 goals and 26 points were also tops, with her four assists tied for second-most. She had a goal or assist in 12 of Augsburg's 18 games, with the Auggies 11-0-1 in those games. She had five multi-goal and seven multi-point games this season.

Her 16 goals scored this season tied her 2016 total for the third-most in a single season in school history, with her 36 points tied for fifth-most. In her 41 career games, St. Aubin now has 32 goals and 11 assists for 75 points, including 15 game-winning goals. Her 75 career points are sixth-most in Augsburg history, with her 32 goals fourth-most.

12925Jennings was a steady force on an Augsburg defense that surrendered just 12 goals this season -- second-fewest among MIAC teams -- with its 0.64 team goals against-average also second-best among MIAC teams. In MIAC games-only, the Auggies' seven goals allowed and 0.61 GAA were also both second-best.

Jennings started 13 of her 14 games played this season, with an assist in 1,039 minutes played (74.2 minutes played per-game). A player who battled injuries throughout her career, Jennings played in 34 games in her four seasons (2,213 minutes, 65.1 minutes per-game), with two career assists.

Augsburg has now had 24 All-Region honorees in program history, including 17 under 19th-year head coach Mike Navarre. As a team, Augsburg finished 12-4-2 overall, 8-1-2 in MIAC play in 2017, winning the MIAC's regular-season title for the second time in the last four years. The Auggies reached the MIAC postseason playoffs for the fourth straight season, fifth time in the last six years and ninth time in program history. The Auggies have finished with double-figure win totals each of the last six years, and eight or more wins in 14 of the last 16 campaigns.
