CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Three Longwood women's soccer players earned All-Big South Conference honors, highlighted by Berni Wayland's selection to the second team, the league announced Wednesday.
Wayland, a junior defender, earned second team plaudits for her contributions to the Lancers' defensive unit throughout the 2026 season. She was joined by senior midfielder Peyton Curney and junior defender Remi Siner, who both received honorable mention all-conference honors.
Siner also earned a spot on the Big South All-Academic Team, recognizing her accomplishments in the classroom.
Wayland has played in all 17 matches so far this season, anchoring a back line that has posted seven clean sheets on the season, for a .412 shutout percentage, which is tops in the Big South and 88th in the NCAA.
Wayland scored a goal in the Lancers' 5-0 victory at Winthrop on Sept. 30 while also being named Big South Defender of the Week on Aug. 24.
Curney, a first-team and All-Freshman selection in 2023, earns year-end Big South honors for a second time. This season, she has two goals and one assist for five points in 17 matches. She scored game-winning goals at American on Aug. 23 and at Winthrop on Sept. 30.
Siner has appeared in 15 matches with 13 starts this season, scoring one goal and two assists. She scored the only goal in a win over Charleston Southern on Oct. 3 in Farmville.
A two-time Big South Presidential Honor Roll selection, Siner carries a 4.0 GPA in business administration.
USC Upstate led the conference's major award winners, claiming four individual honors, while Winthrop's Mia Silber was named Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Longwood (6-9-2) earned the No. 6 seed in the Big South tournament and travels to No. 3 High Point Thursday at 7 p.m., for a first-round match, which will be streamed on ESPN+.
