SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- Junior defender Sarah Chambers and sophomore forward Ashley Hatch were named to the West Coast Conference women's soccer All-Academic Team. Senior defender Annie Amos, sophomore midfielder Elena Medeiros and sophomore forward Michele Murphy were also named WCC All-Academic Honorable Mentions.

Chambers and Amos were both honorable mentions last year, while this is the first year of eligibility for the sophomore trio of Hatch, Medeiros and Murphy.
