William & Mary junior captain Cara Menges (Richmond, Va.) was named to the All-South Region Second Team on Tuesday by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association.  The NFHCA team is nominated and voted on by Division I coaches from around the nation.  This is the ninth year in a row that W&M has had at least one athlete honored.

Menges, who was elected captain for the second year in a row heading into the summer, ably led W&M to the No. 2 seed in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament for the third year in a row.  The Tribe went 3-1 against conference teams in the regular season, including a 2-0 upset of No. 20 Delaware at home on Senior Day, the first regular season win over the Blue Hens for W&M since 2012, and finished 3-2 overall in the shortened spring season.  Menges started every match and controlled the game through the midfield, and earned first-team All-CAA honors at years end.  This is the second year in a row that she has been named to the all-region second-team, making her one of just 21 athletes in program history to have multiple all-region accolades in their career.
