Greensboro, NC (11/09/00) -- The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) women's soccer coaches awarded three Guilford College players all-league honors at their annual meeting Wednesday. Junior Amy Evans (New Bern, NC/New Bern) earned first-team laurels, senior goalkeeper Jenny Akman (Washington, DC/Georgetown Day) won second-team honors and freshman Lori Layton (Westerville, OH/New Albany) received honorable mention recognition.

Evans, a team captain, becomes the first Guilford women's soccer player to win All-ODAC recognition three times. She won the season's first ODAC Player of the Week award, turning in a two-goal, one-assist performance in the Quakers' first five games. Evans also netted the winning goal in a 2-1 overtime win over Emory & Henry during that time. She picked up a second ODAC Player of the Week Award after scoring in a pair of league wins over Sweet Briar and Eastern Mennonite.

Evans led the team in points (21), goals (10), and shots (72) this season. She holds a number of school records, including the career points (104) and goals (47) marks. In her three years, Evans has started all 55 Quaker contests.

An honorable mention pick in 1998 and 1999, Akman becomes Guilford's first all-conference goaltender. She ranks fifth in the league with 182 saves and enjoyed a memorable 20-save performance in a 2-0 loss to Lynchburg in the ODAC quarterfinals. Akman leaves with Guilford records for saves in a season (318), career saves (666) and saves in a game (41, vs. Western Carolina, 1999). Akman played and started in 62 matches over her four seasons, a school record for goalies.

Layton, a freshman back, earned honorable mention recognition. Recruited as a forward, she moved to defense against ODAC competition. Layton notched her only collegiate point with an assist in the Quakers' winning effort over Sweet Briar.
