New York, N.Y. - The Skyline Conference's 11 head women's soccer coaches have cast their votes on the 2021 all-conference team and Farmingdale State College freshman attacking player Jazzmin Terrell (West Babylon, N.Y.) was selected as both Offensive Player and Rookie of the Year in the balloting process. Sophomore Taylor Berry (Glen Head, N.Y.) was named Skyline Defensive Player of the Year.
Terrell, Berry, forward Julissa Martinez (Brentwood, N.Y.), midfielder Molly Dowd (Bay Shore, N.Y.), midfielder Tara Lyons (Wantagh, N.Y.) and defender Meagan Murdocco (North Babylon, N.Y.) each received First Team All-Conference honors, while defender Alexxis McNeil (Valley Stream, N.Y.) was named to the Second Team.

In the Skyline, she ranked second for game-winning goals, third for shots on goal, fourth in goals, fifth in points and sixth in shots. In the Nation, Terrell is 50th for goals and 62nd in points. She was named Skyline Offensive Player of the Week once and Rookie of the Week three times this season.
Berry, a sophomore, anchored the Rams defense that recorded eight shutouts and allowed just two goals in conference play. Berry also ranked fourth on team with three goals scored, fifth for points with eight and sixth for assists with two. She was named Skyline Defensive Player of the Week once this year.
