Bowdoin Players Earn All-NESCAC Honors

Women's College Soccer

November 13, 2008

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin College women's soccer junior Dana Riker (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) took first-team All-NESCAC honors in conference awards announced on Thursday. First-year Ellery Gould (East Sandwich, Mass.) garnered second-team recognition for the Polar Bears, who reached the NESCAC semifinals for the eighth time in nine seasons.

Riker started all 16 games for the Polar Bears, tallying four goals to finish third on the team in scoring. Anchoring Bowdoin's midfield, Riker also contributed to a Polar Bear defense that allowed just 22 goals (1.3/game) this season. Through her first three seasons, Riker has accumulated 15 goals and nine assists.

First-year Ellery Gould enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign, leading the squad in scoring with eight goals and two assists. It is just the second time in the last 20 years that a rookie has led the team in scoring, as she joins Kat Whitley '08 and Ann Zeigler '08 who jointly paced the Polar Bears in 2004. Her four game-winning tallies also led the team, including both of the team's goals in a 2-0 win over Bates and the only tally in a 1-0 win at Husson.

The Polar Bears finished the 2008 campaign with a record of 7-5-4, advancing to the NESCAC semifinals.
