1996 Women's Soccer All-Conference Teams
LANCASTER, Pa. -- November 5 -- Johns Hopkins, which won the Conference championship with an 8-1 record, placed seven players on the 1996 All-Centennial Conference women's soccer team announced today.
Gettysburg senior Lori Moll (Upper Perkiomen, PA/Pennsburg) was a first-team choice at back for the second consecutive year and was named the Conference's Player of the Year in a balloting conducted by the conference's 10 head coaches. Moll anchored a defense that allowed just seven goals in nine Conference games.
Johns Hopkins was represented by three players on the first team and four on the second unit. Senior Kerrie Cathcart (Anchorage, AK/Dimond) was named as a forward, after finishing fourth in Conference scoring (7-3-17) and third overall (13-4-30). She was joined on the first team by junior defender Becki Shapack (Tewksbury, NJ/Voorhees) and freshman goalkeeper Kate Cushman (Wellesley, MA/Wellesley). The Blue Jay defense allowed just four goals in league play and 10 overall.
Haverford, which won the Conference title in 1995, placed two players on the first team, including sophomore forward Nicole Zito (Storrs, CT/E.O. Smith), who finished third in conference scoring with 7-3-17. Senior midfielder Laura DeStefano (West Chester, PA/West Chester East), a second-team All-CC selection a year ago, was the other Haverford representative on the elite squad. Gettysburg also placed two players on the first team, including Moll. Junior midfielder Paula Connard (Francestown, NH/Conval) earned first-team honors for the second year in a row after scoring 2-1-5 in league play. Franklin & Marshall's Missy Coroso (West Hartford, CT/William Hall) was the top vote-getter among the forwards after earning a second-team nod last year. Western Maryland's Erin Murphey (Linwood, MD/ Francis Scott Key) earned first-team honors for the second year in a row after setting conference records for goals in a season (14) and points in a game (9). Muhlenberg sophomore middie Celina Boer (Maple Glen, PA/Upper Dublin), an honorable mention selection in 1995, and Bryn Mawr junior back Bucky Walker (Beavercreek, OH/ Beavercreek), a 1995 second-team pick, round out the elite eleven.
