W&L's Sutherland Top Rookie, Cunningham Coach of the Year
SALEM, Va. --- Old Dominion Athletic Conference
(ODAC) women's soccer tournament champion Virginia Wesleyan College
put seven players on the postseason all-star teams, including five
on the All-ODAC First Team. Midfielder Kelly Donnelly
highlights the Marlins' selections as she was named the
conference's 2006 Player of the Year.
Washington & Lee University's Maggie Sutherland, one of a
league-best nine selections, was tabbed the Rookie of the Year
while General head coach Neil Cunningham was chosen as the Coach of
Year. Bridgewater College won the team Sportsmanship Award
and in a vote conducted by the conference's sports information
directors, Lynchburg College's Lauren Askey was named the
Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Donnelly, a senior from Cranford, N.J., spearheaded the Marlins
championship run from the middle of the pitch. She notched
three goals on the season to go with four assists for 10 total
points, tied for fifth on the squad. Sutherland, from a
defender from Pittsburgh, Pa., was a major cog in a Washington
& Lee defense that surrendered only two goals through the
postseason. She made her way up front several times, scoring
once and helping on another for three points.
Lynchburg's Askey, a junior defender from Baltimore, Md., was also
named to the first team after scoring two goals and an assist while
helping the Hornets into the ODAC postseason. An athletic
training major, Askey boasts a 3.96 grade point average.
Coach Cunningham finished his sixth season with the Generals,
leading them to a 16-1-2 record through the ODAC postseason.
He has won two ODAC tournament titles at W&L and enjoys an
84-16-15 (.796) record in blue and white. The Generals, along
with Virginia Wesleyan, will continue their seasons this weekend in
the 2006 NCAA Division III national soccer tournament.
