NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Notre Dame's second-ranked women's
soccer team has placed seven players on the National Soccer
Coaches Association of America All Great Lakes Region teams.
Selected to the first team were sophomore goalkeeper LaKeysia
Beene, sophomore defender Grubb, senior defender Kate Sobrero,
freshman midfielder Anne Makinen and senior midfielder Holly
Manthei. Sophomore forward Jenny Streiffer was a second team
pick while freshman forward Meotis Erikson was named to the
third team.
Five of the 11 players named to the first team came from Notre
Dame. The Irish led all three teams with seven players with
Minnesota second with five and Northern Illinois and Michigan
each with three. Notre Dame is 60-0-2 against current member
of the Great Lakes Region since the 1991 season. The
all-region selections are now eligible for All-America honors,
which will be announced next week at NCAA women's soccer
semifinals and final.
Grubb, Sobrero, Manthei and Streiffer were All-America
selections in 1996. Notre Dame currently stands at 22-0-1 and
faces UCLA in the NCAA championship quarterfinals on Sat., Nov.
29, at 1:00 p.m. at Alumni Field.
