KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Dec. 2, 2014) - On Tuesday, three members of the LIU Post women's soccer team were selected to the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire Division II All-East Region Team.

Junior forward Susanne Vistnes (Randaberg, Norway) and sophomore back Kristin Brandman (East Northport, N.Y.) claimed All-East Region first-team honors, while senior back Lauren Bellone (West Islip, N.Y.) earned a second-team nod.

Vistnes, a three-time East Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Year and All-ECC first-team selection, was also dubbed the Daktronics Division II East Region Player of the Year earlier this year. She helped the Pioneers capture the 2014 ECC regular-season title and advance to the second round of the NCAA Division II Championship. The Randaberg, Norway native tallied 19 goals and 11 assists for a 49-point output.

Brandman, the 2014 ECC Defensive Player of the Year, anchored an LIU Post defense that allowed 0.72 goals against this year, good enough for 41st in the country. Brandman landed a spot on the Daktronics All-East Region first-team as well, alongside Vistnes.

Bellone, an All-ECC second-team pick, played most of the season as an offensive threat out of the back line for the Pioneers. She ranked second on the team with nine goals, while her 12 assists were tops in the ECC. The senior finished the campaign with 31 points.
