LSU junior defender Allysha Chapman was named First-Team All-Southeastern Conference on Tuesday, while freshman forward Addie Eggleston and freshman goalkeeper Megan Kinneman were named to the SEC All-Freshman team.    This marks the fourth consecutive year LSU has had a player named First-Team All-SEC. The Tigers have been represented on the All-Freshman team in each of Brian Lee’s six seasons as head coach.    It is the second All-SEC honor for Chapman, who received a spot on the second team as a midfielder in 2009. Her move to left defensive back paid immediate dividends and has resulted in an improved back line that has allowed multiple goals in just two of its last 15 games.    Chapman was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week following her first game at left back, in which she spearheaded a shutout of No. 10 BYU on the road.     Eggleston opened her LSU career with two goals and three assists in her first game, earning an SEC Freshman of the Week selection in the process. She started in 18 of 19 games for a front line that often struggled to find the back of the net and finished the season with two goals and seven assists.   
Kinneman is the second goalkeeper from LSU to be named to the All-Freshman team, along with junior goalkeeper Mo Isom, whom Kinneman supplanted as the starter midway through the season. The Missouri City, Texas, native has allowed just nine goals in 12 games, and is on pace to break Isom’s school record for season goals-against average.
