STANDISH, ME - Lady Monks Head Soccer Coach
Michael Bolanz '00 has announced the 2008 team
award winners. The Saint Joseph's coaching staff selected
individuals to receive five awards: MVP, "Golden Boot," Most
Improved, Unsung Hero and Impact Player.
The 2008 Most Valuable Player Award goes to two-time captain
Katie Jordan '09 (Sandwich, MA).
The GNAC Second Team All-Conference recipient led the Lady Monks
with five game-winning goals and ranked second on the team in goals
(10) and points (26) in '08. Jordan completed her impressive
four-year career with 32 goals and 76 points, which rank as the
sixth and seventh highest totals, respectively, in program history.
Jordan also was presented with the 2006 MVP award
after netting 8 goals and 18 points that season and garnered 2005
Rookie of the Year honors with 12 goals and 26 points as a
freshman.
For the second consecutive season
Mikayla Call '11 (Portland,
ME/McAuley) takes home the coveted "Golden Boot Award," which
annually goes to the player who paces the team in goals. Call, a
repeat First-Team All-Conference honoree, scored 14 goals in 2008
to net the third-highest total in the GNAC.
Whitney Linindoll '11 (Paris, ME)
has been named as the team's Most Improved Player. The sophomore
helped anchor the Royal Blue defense, which allowed 1.38 goals per
game, fourth best in the conference.
The Unsung Player Award goes to Heather
Stanger '09 (Rockport, MA). Stanger split time
between the midfielder and forward positions in 2008 and, in four
years, collected 13 goals and 32 points in 72 games. The Unsung
Player Award is her second and third team award overall, as Stanger
collected the Most Improved Award as a freshman in 2005.
Anna Willis '10 (Gorham, ME)
received the "Impact Player Award," which goes to the player who
consistently makes the biggest impact on the field and provides the
team with intangibles that may not show in the boxscore. The junior
ranked fourth on the team in goals (5) and points (12) despite
capably playing half the season as a back due to injuries.
