Their selection as all-region performers comes on the heels of a 2013 season in which they were also honored as Second-Team All-SEC performers and members of the SEC All-Freshman Team.

Clarke and Fletcher helped form the nucleus of LSU's Class of 2013 that received consensus recognition as one of the Top 15 recruiting classes in the country heading into the season. Their talent has certainly been on display while leading a youthful Tiger squad into the top half of the SEC table in a tie for sixth place in the final league standings this season.

Clarke has emerged as one of the SEC's top goal scorers in her debut season at LSU as she was the team's leading scorer with 10 goals and three assists for 23 points through 20 matches this season. She scored a total of eight goals in SEC play to tie for the No. 3 spot in the SEC, including three multi-goal games with a hat trick at Arkansas on Oct. 4 and two goals each at Alabama on Oct. 6 and Texas A&M on Oct. 31.

A native of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, Clarke was honored as the SEC Offensive Player of the Week and TopDrawerSoccer.com National Player of the Week after scoring five of LSU's eight goals in a weekend sweep at Arkansas and Alabama in early October, including both game-winners.

Fletcher's 12 assists is a new LSU freshman record, breaking the school's previous freshman mark of eight assists by now senior Addie Eggleston during her debut season in 2010. Fletcher is the SEC's top assist maker in 2013 as her 12 assists in all games and eight assists in league play top the SEC scoring charts.
