2003 Women's Soccer All-Conference Teams Announced
Amherst's Harmeling
Named Player of the Year
HARTFORD, Conn. - Junior forward
Ashley Harmeling of Amherst College was named the 2003 NESCAC
Player of the Year in a vote of the conference coaches. Harmeling
led the conference with 18 goals and helped the Jeffs to the NESCAC
Championship and an NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer
Tournament berth.
Connecticut College Christa
Thoeresz was named to her third consecutive all-conference first
team. The junior midfielder was named the NESCAC Player of the Year
last season and the conference Rookie of the Year in 2001. Thoeresz
was joined by Camel teammate Christine Culver. Culver, a senior
defender, made her first appearance on the first team after being a
second team selection a year ago.
Tufts seniors Jess Trombly and Jess
Lovitz were each honored on the first team for the second straight
season. Trombly finished the year with six goals from her forward
position while Lovitz led the Jumbos defense which held 11
opponents to one goal or fewer.
Junior Kendall Cox was one of three
Bowdoin Polar Bears named to the first team. Seniors Jill Falwell
and Michal Shapiro also garnered first-team honors. Falwell led
Bowdoin in scoring with nine goals on the year. Cox, a junior
defender, and Shapiro, a senior midfielder, anchored a defense
which allowed just 10 goals in 15 games.
Williams juniors Hannah Stauffer
and Lindsay Dwyer were each named to the all-conference squad.
Stauffer, a repeat first-team selection, led the Ephs with four
assists from her midfield position. Dwyer, ranked fourth in the
conference in scoring, finished with 10 goals on the year.
Bates seniors Lynne Antinarelli and
Catherine Crosby round out the first team selections. Antinarelli,
a senior goalkeeper, posted nine shutouts on the year with a 0.82
goals against average. Crosby contributed six goals and six assists
as Bates finished the season 12-3-2.
Colby freshman forward Laura
Williamson was honored as 2003 NESCAC Rookie of the Year.
Williamson finished with 14 goals in 14 games and led the
conference with 35 points.
Bates head coach Jim Murphy was
named NESCAC Coach of the Year by his peers after leading the
Bobcats to the NESCAC Championship game and a five win improvement
over last year’s mark of 7-7.
NESCAC all-conference selections
are determined in a vote by the conference coaches. Additional
players honored are due to ties in the voting.
