Shannon Lovejoy and Jennifer Hull:
SPU�s First All-Americans in Women�s Soccer
BY 2003, IN JUST ITS third year of existence,
the Seattle Pacific University 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 Seattle, 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,
Seattle Pacific won its second straight conference championship,
qualified for the NCAA playoffs and finished 17-2-2.
