ATHENS, Ohio - Bowling Green State University women's soccer standouts Kristy Coppes and Leah Eggleton have been named to the 2004 All-Mid-American Conference Team. Coppes, a senior, and Eggleton, a junior, each have been chosen to the second team, it was announced at the MAC Tournament banquet Thursday evening (Nov. 4) in Athens, Ohio.
Coppes, a native of Findlay, Ohio (Findlay HS), has played in all 21 of BGSU's matches this year to date, starting 20. She holds nearly all of the Falcons' goal-scoring records. This season, Coppes has school-record totals of 15 goals and 31 points, and also has set a BGSU record with five match-winning goals in 2004.
For her career, Coppes has upped her school-record totals to 49 goals and 104 points. She is tied for third in Mid-American Conference history in goals, and is deadlocked for fifth on the MAC points list.
Coppes' 15-goal total this season includes a six-goal performance in the Falcons' season-opening win over Duquesne (Aug. 27). That total set school and MAC records, and fell just one goal shy of the NCAA single-match record.

This year, her eight assists included five in a four-match span, a streak that also tied her for the longest scoring streak on the team this season. She picked up a pair of assists vs. Eastern Michigan, and assisted on a goal in each of the Falcons' three wins during a season-long streak, against Cleveland State, Akron and Miami.
In fact, seven of Eggleton's eight assists have come in MAC play this season, including helpers against Kent State, Buffalo and Western Michigan.
