AUBURN, Ala. — Three Tigers have been named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region Team as Anna Haddock, LJ Knox and Olivia Woodson were all recognized for their efforts during the 2024 season, the USC office announced Tuesday.

Haddock receives her fourth nod as an All-Region player. Knox and Woodson earn their first.

It is the first time the Tigers have placed three players on the All-Region team since 2021 and the first time all three field player lines have been represented since 2016.

Haddock and Woodson led the creation and finishing on Auburn’s most productive offense in over two decades. Haddock became the program’s career leader with 44 assists and tied the single-season record with 13 in her final run on The Plains. Haddock also added five goals to her resume, four of which came as game-winners.

Woodson finished the year as the team’s points leader with 25 thanks to an 11-goal, three-assist season. Eight of her goals came in matches away from the Auburn Soccer Complex. The sophomore from Richmond, Virginia was the first Tiger to finish the season in double-digit scoring figures since Kristen Dodson did so (2014-17) in 2016.

As Auburn’s Iron Woman with nearly 1,900 minutes played, Knox earned the credit for the Tigers’ dominant defense that issued 12 shutouts, including eight in a row to begin the season. The senior from Brentwood, Tennessee also chipped in on the attack with a pair of goals of her own.
