Columbia, Mo. - University of Missouri women's soccer players Kristin Andrighetto, Mo Redmond, Alysha Bonnick and Katya Hessel were each selected to Soccer Buzz Central Region All-Regional teams this week, adding to a long list of honors Tiger players have received this postseason.

Andrighetto, a sophomore forward from Pleasant Hill, Calif., made the All-Central Region first team. She led the Tigers in goals (14) and points (37) while adding nine assists. Her 14 goals were the most by a Tiger since 1999, when Nikki Thole scored 23 and Erin Grimsley finished with 16. Andrighetto is only the third Tiger, behind Thole and Grimsley to score at least 14 goals in a season.

Freshmen Bonnick and Hessel were named to the Central Region All-Freshman Team.

Bonnick, who made the Central Region third team as well, finished the season with 11 goals, 10 assists and 32 points, all three new Mizzou freshman records. In the final NCAA statistical rankings, she is 35th in assists per game (0.45) and 45th in points per game (1.45). She ranks fifth among freshman in the assists per game category and eighth in the points per game stat.

Hessel, a freshman from Edwardsville, Ill., played in 21 games for the Tigers, starting 19 of them. She finished the season with two goals and three assists.

Redmond's five game-winning assists, and solid play in the midfield, put her on the All-Central Region third team. She finished the season with two goals and seven assists.
