Shelly Sheinbein bolstered the Athena defense all year. As the Athenas primary mark up defender, Shelly had a very successful year shutting down several of her peers on this regional team. Shelly has been a team leader in ground balls as well as draw controls and even found her way onto the scoreboard against Adrian this year.

Devon Scott has been a four year starter for the Athenas. In her senior year, Devon certainly left her mark. Devon was selected Scripps College Athlete of the Year. She was also chosen this year by her teammates as team MVP. Devon helped the Athenas earn the #2 National Ranking in draw controls this year, taking over 80% of the draws this year. Devon was also our second leading scorer as well as an integral part of our defensive ride.

Sarah Dick, a First Team All-Region selection last year, had a stellar year on attack for the Athenas. Dick led the team in goals and was second on the team in assists. Dick’s knack for finding the back of net was a critical piece of the Athenas attack and help the Athenas mold one of the most potent attacks in the country.

Katie Campbell-Morrison was the quarterback of the Athenas defense this year in goal. Campbell-Morrison posted the lowest goals against average and the highest save percentage in the SCIAC conference turning away 142 shots this year. Campbell-Morrison’s leadership and poise in goal kept the Athena defense anchored all season.

The success of these four could not be achieved without the support of their teammates.
