Goldey-Beacom's Alanna Speaks (Wilmington, DE) has put forth a solid freshman campaign that allowed her to be named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women's Soccer Rookie of the Year, making her one of three on the squad the league feted.
 
Speaks also was picked first team all-conference, senior midfielder Amy Runciman (Luton, England) was tabbed first team all-league for a second time and senior defender Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) was picked second team All-CACC.
 
Speaks has been an incredible addition who has impressed many with her incredible goal-scoring skills.  Also soon to be a member of the basketball squad, Speaks this fall is 23rd in the country with 12 goals, 31st with 28 points, tied for fourth on the school's single-season list in goals and fifth overall in points.
 
Runciman's first-team nod in 2015 was accompanied by her being tabbed second team CCA All-East Region and third team NSCAA All-East Region that year before she was selected second team all-league a season ago.  Her strong playmaking and determination has her 79th in the country with eight goals and 87th with 20 points.  Runciman also is second in school history with 83 points, fourth with 27 goals and second with 29 assists.
 
Turner-Rush, also a member of the basketball team, continues to be the backbone for a strong defense.  The soon-to-be three-time member of the CACC Fall and Winter Academic Honors Rolls, Turner-Rush leads a defense which has notched three shutouts and has not permitted more than one goal 10 times.
 
Goldey-Beacom (11-4-2, 8-3-1 CACC) is the fourth seed for the CACC Tournament and will host fifth-seeded Jefferson (9-8, 8-4) on Tuesday at 2:00 pm at Nancy Churchman Sawin Field in Wilmington, DE.
