Three West Texas A&M University Lady Buff soccer players were named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas All-Midwest Region Team, announced Wednesday (Dec. 7) by the NSCAA.

The senior trio of forward Katie Henley, midfielder Roxy Sides and defender Misti Northcutt were all named to the second-team All-Midwest Region list. All three were also first-team All-LSC selections this season.

Senior forward Katie Henley was named to the NSCAA/adidas All-Midwest Region team, and was joined by her fellow seniors, Misti Northcutt and Roxy Sides.

The three seniors led the Lady Buffs to one co-regular season LSC Championship and one LSC Tournament Championship in their tenure at WTAMU, and they were also a part of the 2002 squad that received the NSCAA Team Academic Award.

Henley, an Azle, Texas, native scored five goals this season for a total of 10 points and has a total of 29 career goals and 14 assists for 72 career points. She is a two-time first-team All-LSC selection, earning the honor last season and this year. Henley was also named to the LSC All-Academic Team last season, in addition to being a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection after being named to the first-team list last year and the second-team list this season.

Sides, a native of DeSoto, Texas, has scored two goals and dished out four assists this season for eight points. She finished her career tallying a total of five goals and 12 assists for a total of 22 points. Sides is a two-time first-team All-LSC selection, earning recognition the last two seasons.

Senior defender Misti Northcutt was one of the three Lady Buff seniors to receive NSCAA/adidas All-Midwest Region accolades, joined by Katie Henley and Roxy Sides.

Northcutt, a Pampa, Texas, native, scored two goals and had two assists this season, finishing her career with five goals and 10 assists for a total of 18 points. This season, she anchored a Lady Buff defense that had a 1.10 goals against average.

Senior midfielder Roxy Sides received second-team NSCAA/adidas All-Midwest Region honors, and was joined on the list by her two fellow seniors, Katie Henley and Misti Northcutt.

WTAMU ended its season with a 10-6-1 mark. For the first time in five years WTAMU did not play in the LSC Tournament Championship game, as the second-seeded Lady Buffs were knocked off in the semifinals.

The Lady Buffs also had their string of consecutive appearances in the NCAA-II Tournament snapped at four years in a row, as they advanced to the Regional semifinals in 2003 for the first time in school history.
