Seven-Time Champs Sweep W. Soccer Awards
TACOMA, Wash. - After winning a seventh-straight Northwest Conference title, the Puget Sound Loggers swept the NWC postseason awards as junior forward Janece Levien (Beaverton, Ore.) was named Offensive Player of the Year, senior defender Nikki Graff (Corvallis, Ore./Crescent Valley) was named Defensive Player of the Year and Randy Hanson was named Coach of the Year.
Levien, who scored 22 goals on the season while assisting on five others, won the award for the second straight season. Graff earns honors after leading the Logger defense that allowed just 11 goals and 135 shots in 20 games played.
Since the conference began naming Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in 2003, the Loggers have won six straight Defensive POY awards and five straight Offensive POY awards. Hanson won the Coach of the Year award for the seventh time in his career.
Joining Levien and Graff on the First Team All-NWC was senior midfielder Fiona Gornick (Portland, Ore./Grant). Gornick was named a Third Team ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American earlier on Tuesday.
The Loggers were represented on the Second Team All-NWC by junior keeper Kallie Wolfer (Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline), sophomore defender Serwaah Fordjour (Shoreline, Wash./Shorewood), freshman midfielder Mikaela Freeman (Alameda, Calif./Bishop O'Dowd) and freshman forward Jenny Moore (Kent, Wash./Kentwood). Sophomore Kayla Boortz (Greenwood Village, Colo./Regis Jesuit) was named Honorable Mention All-NWC.
