Led by senior defender Lauren Talbot, who earned second-team accolades, three Colorado College players have been named 2009 All-Central Region selections by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Forwards Emily Beans and Tiffany Brown, who collectively accounted for more than 30 percent of CC's scoring production, were voted to the third team.

It is the first all-region honor for Talbot, who earlier joined Brown on the All-Conference USA First Team before claiming all-tournament recognition for the third time by virtue of her performance in the league playoffs.

It marks the third NSCAA all-region selection for both Beans and Brown.

Talbot anchored a defense that allowed just 19 goals in 20 games overall, as well as contributing offensively with two goals and a pair of assists. Beans, a senior academically but a junior in terms of athletic eligibility, led the Tigers with three game-winning goals among her six tallies overall, and added three assists for 15 points. Brown scored five times and collected a team-high six assists, good for 16 points. She and Talbot also struck for a game winner apiece.

Colorado College, which wound up 12-6-2 overall, finished second in the C-USA standings with an all-time best 8-2-1 record in league play.
