Shannon Lovejoy and Jennifer Hull: SPU’s First All-Americans in Women’s Soccer

BY 2003, IN JUST ITS
third year of existence, the ɬÀï·¬ women’s soccer team had become a national powerhouse, ranked 23rd in the country. Now two players have been named SPU’s first All-America selections in women’s soccer.

Sophomore Shannon Lovejoy, a midfielder from ɬÀï·¬, was named by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America to the NSCAA second team. Lovejoy established a new school record for goals and led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) with 17 goals and 38 points.

Junior Jennifer Hull, a goalkeeper from Eugene, Oregon, was the NCAA Division II goalkeeping leader in goals-against average (0.30) and led the GNAC with 12 shutouts. She was named to the NSCAA third team. Earlier, she and Lovejoy were both voted first team all-region and all-GNAC.

“I am so proud of Shannon and Jennifer and our entire program,” says Coach Chuck Sekyra. “Our team accomplished a great deal last season. And the best part is that we have such a great group coming back next season.” The Falcons graduated just one senior.

In 2003, its first season under Sekyra, ɬÀï·¬ Pacific won its second straight conference championship, qualified for the NCAA playoffs and finished 17-2-2.
