Four Women's Soccer Players Named to All-MEC Teams

FAIRMONT, W.Va. – The Concord University women's soccer team has had four players placed on the All-Mountain East Conference Teams with the release of the All-MEC Teams and the major award winners Friday afternoon.

Sophomore forward Daisy Cook, junior defender Ella Rowell and sophomore midfielder Molly Watters were selected to the All-MEC Second Team while freshman forward Ela Marit Del Orbe landed on the All-MEC Freshman Team.  

Cook, a native of Redcar, England, was among the MEC leaders in goals and points. She finished 2026 tied for first in the conference with nine goals, and her 24 points were also tied for first in the MEC. Cook netted her first career brace in a home win over Shawnee State (Sept. 13) while adding two four-point games in road wins over Wheeling (Sept. 27) and West Liberty (Oct. 7). She capped her sophomore season by scoring a goal in three of the final four regular-season games.

Now a three-time All-MEC selection, Rowell continues to add to her impressive collegiate résumé. The Harrogate, England native lands on the All-MEC Second Team after earning All-MEC First Team a season ago. She scored one goal and tallied five assists from her right back position. Rowell struck for a goal at West Virginia State (Sept. 16). Three of her five assists came in the final six games of the season, including an assist in Wednesday's win over Shawnee State. Additionally, Rowell helped CU's defense to three shutouts and six games allowing just one goal.

Watters, a native of Birmingham, England, bumps up from All-MEC Honorable Mention in 2025 to the All-MEC Second Team this fall. She scored a career-best seven goals which was tied for sixth in the league. Watters added two assists as she finished tied for eighth in the MEC in points (16). In the middle of the season, Watters went on a scoring rampage as she netted goals in three straight games and four out of five games, including a brace at Wheeling. She ended her sophomore season with a goal at Shawnee State Wednesday.

Del Orbe, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, netted two goals to go with three assists in her first season in the Maroon and Gray. Her first collegiate goal was part of a three-point day in a win at Wheeling. She added an assist versus MEC North Division Champion Frostburg State (Sept. 30), and scored the opening goal at home versus West Virginia State (Oct. 14).

Frostburg State's Mollie Rebuck was the MEC Offensive Player of the Year while Fairmont State's Agnes Bjork was named the MEC Defensive Player of the Year. Veteran head coach Brian Parker of Frostburg State was voted as the MEC Coach of the Year. West Virginia State goalkeeper Celina Seggelman was selected MEC Freshman of the Year.
