LATHAM, N.Y. -- Seven Penn College women's soccer standouts earned United East All-Conference recognition after the league released its postseason major awards and All-Conference list on Thursday. Freshman Ella Garman led the pack as she earned a first-team forward spot and selected by the league's head coaches as the Women's Soccer Rookie of the Year.  Sara Darlington and Ashley Gordon joined Garman with first team honors while Mikayla Gordon and Sierra Klinger landed on the second team and Ava Gamble and Morgan Solano rounded out the list of Wildcats on the third team.

Garman (Boiling Springs, Pa.) made 18 starts in 20 appearances for the Wildcats this season. She led all freshmen in the conference with 12 goals scored which ranked fourth overall and added four assist for 28 points this season. Garman scored her first career hat-trick in a conference victory at Keystone and finished the season with a .513 shot on-goal average. Garman became the second consecutive Wildcat to earn the United East Women's Soccer Rookie of the Year award, following Megan Kurian's recognition last season. 

Darlington (West Chester, Pa.) earned her third first team all-conference selection as the top scorer in the Wildcats' attack with a team-high 21 goals and 49 points while dishing out seven assists. The senior forward ranked second in the league in goals scored and game-winning goals (5). Darlington posted four hat-tricks against Keystone, Notre Dame and Penn State Bradywine and had another three-goal day against Penn State Abington in the United East Quarterfinals. 

Ashley Gordon (Pottston, Pa.) claimed her second all-conference recognition after helping the Wildcats to earn the title as the conference's best defense. Gordon and the back line helped produce 12 shutouts and limited opponents to just 10 goals allowed (3 in conference) and 6.7 shots per game. Offensively, Gordon scored two goals and posted a team-high eight assists.

Mikayla Gordon (Slatington, Pa.) played more than 1,100 minutes in 13 starts and 19 appearances for the Wildcats. The freshman midfielder scored two goals and handed out five assists on the season. 

Klinger (Herndon, Pa.) secured her first all-conference nod after leading team with eight assists in her sophomore season. Klinger added three goals to produce the fifth-most points (14) on the team this season.

Gamble (Selinsgrove, Pa.) was another solid defender for the Wildcats this season stepping in for more than 1,600 minutes in all 20 starts this season. Gamble joined Ashley Gordon in limiting opponents to the 31st-best mark in goals-against average (.506) and 51st in shutout percentage (.600).

Solano (Shavertown, Pa.) returned from a first-half injury and compiled a 6-3 record with four shutouts in her nine appearances to earn her first all-conference bid. The senior goalkeeper posted 44 saves and allowed just six goals for a 0.72 goals-against average and .880 save percentage as the last line of the league's top defense.
