CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Seniors Lauren Mann and
Lizzy Nichols and junior Katherine Sheeleigh of the Ivy League
champion Harvard women's soccer team have been named to the NEWISA
All-New England Team. Mann and Sheeleigh garnered selections
to the first team, while Nichols grabbed a spot on the second
team.
Mann, a goalkeeper from Encinitas, Calif., was also recently
selected to participate in the NEWISA Senior Bowl. Mann was
tabbed to her fourth All-Ivy League team this fall, as she was
named to the second team. She posted a 9-7-1 overall record and had
three shutouts, while owning a 1.34 goals-against average. Mann
completed her career ranked third in program history with 290
saves.
Sheeleigh, an Academic All-Ivy League choice, is a nominee for
Soccer News Net Player of the Year. A native of New
Vernon, N.J., Sheeleigh, a forward, was honored on the All-Ivy
League first team for the third straight season. She led
Harvard offensively with 21 points, including a team-best eight
goals, four of which counted as game-winning tallies. Sheeleigh
also stood third in the Ivy League in points and fourth in
goals.
Nichols, who hails from Princeton, N.J., joined Mann as a selection
to the NEWISA Senior Bowl. A finalist for the Lowe’s
Senior CLASS Award, Nichols was honored on the All-Ivy League team
for the fourth time, earning a nod to the second team for her
effort this fall. Nichols also succeeded outside of the classroom,
as she was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District
first team, as well as the Academic All-Ivy League team.
