Connecticut College
Sophomore Thoeresz Named Player of the Year
HARTFORD, Conn. - Sophomore
midfielder Christa Thoeresz of Connecticut College was named the
2002 NESCAC Player of the Year by the conference coaches. A year
after being named Rookie of the Year in 2001, Thoeresz led the
Camels to the semifinals of the NESCAC Championship and a 10-5-1
overall mark, a five win improvement over 2001.
Four members of the conference
champion Tufts University were named to the all-conference first
team. Senior Cara Glassanos and junior Jess Lovitz anchored a Jumbo
defense that allowed just twelve goals in 16 contests this season.
Sophomore forward Jen Baldwin and junior forward Jess Trombly were
also honored as first-team selections. Baldwin led Tufts with 8
goals on the year. Trombly was an all-NESCAC second team selection
as a freshman.
Conference leading scorer Meg
Bonney of Middlebury was selected to the all-conference first team
for the fourth consecutive season. Bonney, the 1999 NESCAC Rookie
of the Year, led the conference in goals (16) and points (32) this
season. The senior forward also led the conference in scoring in
2000 when she was honored as the conference Player of the Year.
Williams senior Stacey Starner
received first-team all-NESCAC honors for the third consecutive
year. Starner is the all-time leading scorer at Williams finishing
her career with 101 points. Starner’s younger sister and
Williams’ goalkeeper, Lindsay, was a second-team selection.
Bates senior Krissie Whiting earned
first-team honors for the second time. Whiting had five goals and
four assists from her midfield position. Sophomores Kendall Cox of
Bowdoin and Hannah Stauffer of Williams also garnered first-team
honors. Senior goalkeeper Brooke Diamond of Amherst rounds out the
all-NESCAC first team. Diamond, a regional all-American in 2001,
ended the year with a 1.06 goals against average and .831 save
percentage.
Williams freshman defender Elise
Henson was honored as 2002 NESCAC Rookie of the Year. Henson was
part of a defense which allowed just five goals in nine conference
games and only 11 goals on the year.
Tufts Coach Martha Whiting was
named NESCAC Coach of the Year by her peers after leading the
Jumbos to a NESCAC Championship and a berth in the NCAA Division
III Women’s Soccer Championship.
