Lenox Evans

Sarah Sladivar

Defender Lenox Evans and goalkeeper Sarah Saldivar were the lone University of Houston-Victoria representatives to be selected to the 2010 Association of Independent Institutions all-conference soccer teams released Tuesday.

Both Evans and Saldivar were named as second-team selections.

“It’s a real honor to have two players selected to the all-conference team in our first year,” UHV Jaguars coach Adrian Rigby said.

Evans, a freshman from Dallas, started and appeared in 15 of the Jaguars 16 games this season and had seven shots, including two on goal.

“Lenox helped carry our defense this season,” Rigby said. “With his speed and athleticism he was a tremendous asset to the team.”

Saldivar, a junior from Houston, started in 13 of the Jaguars 15 games recording a team-high 90 saves and had a .732 saves percentage. She also allowed 33 goals on the season and played nearly 920 minutes.

“Sarah was a big key in keeping us in a number of games this season,” Rigby said. “She was a late arrival but also proved to be a big asset for us.”

Simon Fraser swept the top individual honors as Max Baessato was named the men’s conference player of the year, while Lauren Lachlan was named the women’s player of the year. Simon Fraser coach Alan Koch was named the men’s coach of the year, while California State University-San Marcos’ Ron Pulvers earned the women’s coach of the year.
