DAYTON - Five University of Dayton women's soccer players were named to the 2005 Atlantic 10 All-Conference Teams in voting conducted by the conference's head coaches. Senior Reba Sedlacek, senior Alicija Bredlo and sophomore Niki Reed were named to the A-10 First Team, senior Katie Lowstuter was named to the Second Team and freshman Stephanie Wurth was selected to the All-Rookie Team. Sedlacek also earned mention on the A-10 All-Academic Team.

The defending A-10 Offensive Player of the Year, Sedlacek leads the Flyers in scoring this season with 19 points on eight goals and three assists. She was named the A-10 Player of the Week once this year and scored game-winning goals over Furman, Ohio, George Washington and St. Bonaventure. In conference play, her 10 points and four goals were also a team high. The senior also owns a 3.94 grade point average in Exercise Science and Fitness Management, earning her third consecutive spot on the All-Academic Team. With 35 goals and 19 assists, the senior is an assist shy of becoming UD's fifth all-time member of the 20-20 Club (20 career goals and assists).

Bredlo helped lead the UD defense which has allowed less than a goal per game for the fourth-consecutive season. She scored once and had 3 assists with her goal coming in UD's win over Furman. Bredlo assisted on the game-tying goal in UD's 2-2 draw with then-No. 6 Virginia on Sept. 11.

Named the A-10 Player of the Week once this season, Reed has owned the A-10's best goals against average all season and has played all but 44 minutes in goal. The sophomore transfer from Vanderbilt made seven saves against then-No. 25 William & Mary and eight saves against then-No. 6 Virginia in a pair of double-overtime ties at the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic, and was named to the All-Tournament Team. She posted a 0.46 GAA in conference play with shutouts of Richmond, George Washington and St. Bonaventure.

Lowstuter was one of just three Flyers to start all 18 games this season. The 2004 A-10 First Team All-Conference player is second on the team in scoring with eight points on two goals and a team-best four assists. Her 25 career assists ranks fourth all-time at UD. She was one of three Flyers named to the All-Tournament Team at the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic, helping UD to a pair of ties against nationally-ranked William & Mary and Virginia.

Wurth, a freshman, played nearly every minute of every game since being inserted into the starting lineup against then-No. 25 William & Mary also played a key defensive role in UD's 2-2 tie with then-No. 6 Virginia. She was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Viginia Nike Soccer Classic. Wurth was a key part of the UD defense which allowed opponents just 16 goals in 18 matches and just five goals in nine conference games.

Since 2001, the Flyers have averaged four players on the Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team. The Flyers will open play in their 10th-consecutive A-10 Women's Soccer Championship Thursday at 8 p.m. ET versus Saint Joseph's.
