Charlotte, NC - Charlotte 49ers women's soccer's senior midfielder Lindsey Ozimek and sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Brown were named to the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association's (NCCSIA) University Division All-State team.

This season, Ozimek and Brown helped the 49ers tie the school-record with 16 wins en route to the A-10 regular season and tournament titles and the third NCAA Tournament berth in the program's history.

She became the first recipient of the A-10 Midfielder of the Year award this season after leading the A-10 with 13 assists. Earlier, this year she became the program's all-time leader in career assists and she finished her career with a 43 assists.
Brown, who was a A-10 All-Rookie team selection last season, earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors this year. She enjoyed a career-year in goal for the 49ers. She started all 22 games in goal for Charlotte this past season. She set the program's single-season shutout record with 10.5 shutouts.
