Several Honored in Post-Season

Well, what a season. We had the 2nd most wins in school history, our first NCAA win, and 3rd NESCAC Championship, but first in over 10 years. In the process, several players were honored with individual recognition. I like to add here that the team is only as strong as it's weakest link, and these honors prove just how deep we were. Let's see, where to start:

Lauren and Whitney were honored as two of the top seniors in New England by being named to the New England Senior All-Stars.

Lauren was the MVP at the Hall of Fame Tournament during the season, as well as being named NESCAC Player of the week that same week. She was also 1st Team All-NESCAC, NEWVA 1st Team All-New England, AVCA All-Region, and an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American.

Jane, who was named the NESCAC player of the week 3 times this year, was also the NESCAC Player of the Year, 1st Team All-NESCAC, NEWVA 1st Team All-New England, AVCA All-Region, and a 3rd consecutive year as an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American.

Julia Gibbs earned a spot on the 2nd Team All-NESCAC, AVCA All-Region, and an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American.

Megan Jarchow was our 3rd NESCAC Rookie of the Year in a row, in addition to being named to the NEWVA All-Rookie Team, and NEWVA Honorable Mention All-New England. She was also the NESCAC Player of the Week in the final week of the Conference season.

Caitlin Barrett was the first player from Middlebury ever named to the NCAA Regional All-Tournament team, and was also an NEWVA Honorable Mention All-New England member.

Due to the fantastic team success this season, the coaching staff was also honored by being named the NESCAC and NEWVA Coaching Staff of the Year.

We will be having our banquet before we leave for Christmas Break, and will report on those team awards when we have them. All three juniors will all be going abroad this Spring, and we'll try to keep up with their adventures abroad too.
