Alequine is a four-time All-South Atlantic Conference and All-Southeast Region selection who finished her collegiate career with 42 goals, 22 assists and 106 points.
Senior midfielder Emmi Dunn (Reading, Pa.) and senior forward Leah Mullins (Kissimme, Fla.) were named to the all-region second team for the Bears.
