Hauck, who finished the year with a team-leading nine goals and 21 points, was also named the 2010 Food Lion SAC Tournament Most Valuable Player and has been a three-time all-conference (2008-10) and two-time all-region pick (2009-10).

Hawes earned All-America honors for the second time in as many seasons after being named to the Daktronics NCAA Division II All-American First-Team in 2009.

Hawes, a sophomore midfielder from Valdese, N.C., was an All-SAC and NSCAA All-Southeast Region honoree this fall and finished the year with six goals, four assists and 16 points.

In 2009, Hawes became the first player in South Atlantic Conference history to be named the league player and freshman of the year in the same season.

Both players led L-R (19-2-2) to the SAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships in 2010 and a berth in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. The Bears also finished the year ranked eighth nationally.

Gruenenfelder (Sweetwater, Tenn.) garnered third team honors for a second straight year after helping lead the Lady Eagles to a share of their third straight South Atlantic Conference regular season title.

Gruenenfelder, who becomes just the third Lady Eagle to receive All-American honors in multiple years, ranked fourth in the conference in goals scored (10), fifth in points (25) and eighth in assists (five) this season. She was also named first team NSCAA and Daktronics All-Southeast Region and first team All-SAC.

The NSCAA All-America teams are voted on by head coaches across the nation. Gruenenfelder was one of 11 repeat selections on the team.

The players will be honored at the annual All-America Luncheon, to be held at the Hilton Baltimore Hotel on Saturday, Jan. 15, as part of the 2011 NSCAA Convention.
