| Shannon Lovejoy and Jennifer Hull:
              SPU’s First All-Americans in Women’s Soccer 
 BY 2003, IN JUST ITS third year of existence,
              the ºù«ÍÞÊÓÆµ women’s soccer team had become a
              national powerhouse, ranked 23rd in the country. Now two players
              have been named SPU’s first All-America selections in women’s soccer.
 
 Sophomore Shannon Lovejoy, a midfielder from Seattle, was named
              by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America to the NSCAA
              second team. Lovejoy established a new school record for goals
              and led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) with 17
              goals and 38 points.
 
 Junior Jennifer Hull, a goalkeeper from Eugene,
            Oregon, was the NCAA Division II goalkeeping leader in goals-against
            average (0.30) and led the GNAC with 12 shutouts. She was named
            to the NSCAA third team. Earlier, she and Lovejoy were both voted
            first team all-region and all-GNAC.
 
 “I am so proud of Shannon and
              Jennifer and our entire program,” says Coach Chuck Sekyra. “Our
              team accomplished a great deal last season. And the best part is
              that we have such a great group coming back next season.” The Falcons
              graduated just one senior.
 
 In 2003, its first season under Sekyra,
            Seattle Pacific won its second straight conference championship,
            qualified for the NCAA playoffs and finished 17-2-2.
