HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison women's soccer redshirt junior Alexandra Blom, classmate Brittany Munson, redshirt sophomore Lexi Vanderlinden and sophomore Amanda Attanasi were all recognized on the All-Southeast Region teams as announced by United Soccer Coaches on Wednesday afternoon.
Â
The four selections are the most by JMU on All-Region teams since having five selections in 2007. Blom was named to the First Team, the first time a Duke was selected First Team All-Region since Teresa Rynier in 2010. Munson and Attanasi earned Second Team honors, while Vanderlinden was selected to the Third Team. All four Dukes are earning All-Region honors for the first time in their respected careers.
Â
The Sun Belt Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, Blom started and played in 18 matches this season. She set the single-season goals against average program record with a 0.60 GAA, as she only allowed 11 goals in 1641:52 minutes in goal. She recorded nine individual shutouts, coming one shy of the program record, and recorded a 0.866 save percentage with 71 saves. The Degerfors, Sweden native currently sits at 11th in the country in save percentage and 16th in GAA.
Â
Munson played in all 21 matches this season with 20 starts as she helped anchor a backline that recorded program records of 0.56 team GAA and 13 shutouts. The defense also tied the program record of consecutive shutouts of four twice and set the program record for consecutive minutes without conceding a goal at 475:31. The All-Sun Belt First Teamer led the team to be currently sitting at fifth nationally in team save percentage, tied for seventh in shutout percentage and ninth in team GAA.
Â
Playing in 20 matches with 16 starts, Attanasi earned Second Team All-Region honors after leading the Dukes in offense this season with nine goals and 21 points. She added three assists while putting 31 of her 55 shots on goal for the Dukes. Of her nine goals, six were game-winners which ranks her third in program history for a single season. She is the first 20-point scorer for the Dukes since Haley Crawford in 2019 and the first Duke to score nine goals in a season since Crawford netted nine in 2018. The forward now has 12 career goals, one shy of breaking into the top 30 for a career at JMU.
Â
A Second Team All-Sun Belt selection, Vanderlinden played in 21 matches across the midfield with 18 starts. She recorded 10 points, scoring a goal and leading the Sun Belt in assists with eight. The eight assists are the most in a single season by a Duke since Crawford's 12 in 2019 and her 13 career assists have her tied for 25th at JMU. Vanderlinden recorded three assists in the regular season match against Texas State, the 16th time at least three assists have been awarded in a match in program history.
Â
JMU led the way for the Sun Belt in All-Region selections, with only Old Dominion (three) and South Alabama (two) having multiple selections.
