GNAC Women's Soccer All-Conference Teams Announced

Women's College Soccer

November 11, 2008

STANDISH, ME – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference Women's Soccer All-Conference teams have been announced and four players have been selected to represent Saint Joseph's College.

Sophomore Mikayla Call (Portland, ME/McAuley) has been tabbed as a First Team All-Conference forward for the second time while midfielder Katie Jordan ‘09 (Sandwich, MA) and junior defenders Anna Willis (Gorham, ME) and Lauren Hagerman (Scarborough, ME) have all received Second Team honors.

Senior co-captain Lauren Harrigan (Caribou, ME) has been selected as the team's representative on the GNAC All-Conference Sportsmanship Team.

Call led the Lady Monks in scoring for the second straight season with 14 goals and 33 points, with both totals ranking fifth in the conference. The two-time First Team All-Conference forward has already made her mark in the St. Joe's record books, as her two-year totals of 29 goals and 69 points rank seventh and eighth, respectively, in the career records. Call was named the GNAC Player of the Week on October 6th after scoring four goals and two assists in a 2-1 week for St. Joe's, including a hat trick performance in a 6-2 victory over Suffolk on September 30th.

For Jordan, the postseason honor is her second and fourth overall, as she was named to the NCAA Division III All-Independent Team after her freshman and sophomore seasons. She wrapped up the ‘08 season as the team's second leading scorer with 10 goals, which ranked 10th in the conference, and 26 points. The two-year captain paced the team in game-winners with five, which was the second-highest total in the GNAC. 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.

Willis, a 2007 All-Tournament selection, is fourth on the team with 12 points in 2008. The junior, who for the last two seasons has played in her natural position up front, has played as a back for half the year due to injuries and has filled in quite capably for an SJC defense that allowed 24 goals this season, the fourth-fewest in the GNAC. Willis netted the game-winning goal in a victory over GNAC-rival Emerson College on October 8th. The All-Conference bid is the first of her career.

Hagerman anchored a Saint Joseph's defense that allowed just four goals in the last eight games of the year. She is a tenacious shutdown defender who can play centrally or out wide. The All-Conference selection is the first of Hagerman's career.
