Belhaven placed six players on the 2026 All-CCS women’s soccer teams, with defender Adie Sheeley earning first-team honors. Four Blazers were named to the second team: Alexis Whiting, McKenzee Gregory, Hayden Kessler and Addi Roberts. Kinsey Carter received honorable mention, and Lilly Bond was selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team.
Sheeley started all 13 matches she played in her first season with Belhaven and logged 1,080 minutes. The Blazers’ defense recorded eight shutouts, allowed 10 goals and finished the regular season with a 0.71 team goals-against average.
Roberts made 70 saves and had an .886 save percentage, a 0.84 goals-against average and five solo shutouts. The senior from Florence, Mississippi, was named CCS Defensive Player of the Week four times this season, bringing her career total to five. Kessler, a freshman, played 1,070 minutes and started 12 of 13 appearances. She assisted on a goal in a 4-0 win at Agnes Scott and was named CCS Rookie of the Week on Sept. 29.
Whiting earned second-team recognition at forward for the second consecutive season. The sophomore led Belhaven with five goals and 12 points, adding two assists. She scored in each of the team’s first three CCS matches, netted the winner against Millsaps and converted a tying penalty kick against Mississippi Christian. She was the only returning All-CCS selection from Belhaven’s 2025 championship team.
Gregory appeared in all 14 matches, starting 11, and scored twice, including the opening goal in a 2-0 win at Piedmont. Carter started 12 of 13 appearances and recorded 15 shots, second-most on the team. Bond, a senior defender from Laurel, Mississippi, earned the sportsmanship honor.
Belhaven finished 4-1-1 in conference play to claim the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the CCS Championship. The defending champion Blazers were scheduled to meet the winner of the Asbury-LaGrange quarterfinal on Friday, Nov. 6, in Huntsville, Alabama, according to the tournament schedule.
