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.
