Carter Named First Team All-Region
Greensboro, N.C. (12/4/06) -- Guilford College's Jennah Carter earned a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas NCAA Division III All-South Region Teams Monday. Carter, a repeat first-team honoree, is Guilford's first two-time all-region women's soccer selection and becomes eligible for All-America honors, to be announced later this month.
A 5-6 senior forward, Carter led the Quakers in scoring for the third straight season with 48 points on 21 goals and six assists in 22 matches. She earned First Team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) honors for the second year in a row and was a three-time ODAC Player of the Week. The team captain ranked second in the league in points, third in points per match (2.18) and third in goals per match (0.95). Carter scored two hat tricks among her team-leading eight multiple-goal matches and led the Quakers with four game-winning goals, the ODAC's fourth-highest total. She had 10 goals and two assists during a six-game stretch in September where she scored at least one goal in every match. Carter's 21 goals and 48 points rank fourth in school history.
Carter concludes her career with 128 points in 66 matches, which stands second only to Amy Evans '02 on the Quakers' career scoring chart. Carter set Guilford's career assists record (24) during a season-high seven-point performance in the Oct. 21 win over Randolph-Macon Woman's College. She stands second to Evans with 52 career goals and set the Guilford standard with 23 tallies in 2005.
Coach Eric Lewis' Quakers (13-6-3, 9-1-1 ODAC) reached the ODAC Tournament final for the second straight season before falling to 24th-ranked Virginia Wesleyan, 2-0, Nov. 4. Guilford posted a school-record 13 wins for the second year in a row and its nine league wins marked an all-time high. The Quakers hosted three ODAC Tournament matches for the first time in school history, thanks to its number-two seed, also a first. Lewis expects 15 letter winners back in 2006.
