Women's Soccer Release (2004-05) - All-State Honors for Guilford - Guilford College

• GUILFORD PLACES TWO ON ALL-STATE WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM

 

      Greensboro, NC (1/25/05) -- Guilford's Jennah Carter and Kimberly Mullen earned spots on the 2004 North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) College Division Women's Soccer Team, the organization announced Tuesday. The Quakers also placed two players on last year's all-state squad.

 

      The team is comprised of 15 women's soccer student-athletes from North Carolina's NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA institutions. Sports information directors nominated student-athletes for the team, which was selected by NCCSIA members. A college division men's team and university division unit were announced last week. The university division men's squad will be released later this week. NCCSIA was founded in 2002.

 

Carter had a hand in 28 of Guilford's 42 goals this season and led the Quakers in scoring with 26 points on eight goals and a team-high 10 assists. The 5-4 forward ranked ninth among Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) points leaders and 10th in points per match. Carter shared the league lead in assists and ranked fifth among the loop's assists-per-game leaders. Her 10 helpers rank fourth on Guilford's single-season assists list and ninth on the Quakers' career chart. Carter enjoyed two-goal matches in triumphs over Emory & Henry, North Carolina Wesleyan and Greensboro. She tallied the game-winning goals against North Carolina Wesleyan and Greensboro.

 

A 5-3 midfielder, Mullen earned Second Team All-ODAC honors for the third straight season in 2004. She finished her senior season second on the team in goals (7) and points (17). Mullen registered a point in six matches and netted a club-high three game-winning goals. She recorded multiple-goal matches against Hollins and Bridgewater. Mullen, who tied Guilford's records for points and goals in a season as a sophomore, concludes her career with 98 career points. She stands second among Guilford's all-time goals (41) and points leaders and ranks fifth with 16 career assists.

 

      Carter and Mullen helped the Quakers to a record-setting year. Third-year head coach Eric Lewis guided the team to a 12-8-2 record, 7-2-2 in the ODAC. The 12 wins broke the previous school standard of 11, matched in 2003. Guilford also set school records with a 13-match unbeaten streak and a nine-match winning skein. The Quakers reached the ODAC Tournament semifinals for the first time in school history, and expect 20 letter winners back in 2005.
