Two Swarthmore Players Earn More Honors
The Swarthmore women's soccer team had two players named to the first annual D3Kicks.com Mid-Atlantic All-Region team. Sophomore defender Cait Mullarkey was placed on the second team while freshman forward Katie Kanuka was selected for the third team.
Mullarkey anchored a strong Garnet back line that tallied a goals-against average of 0.97, the strongest defensive effort since 2001. Mullarkey, a second year center back, has become a consistent contributor earning first-team All-Centennial honors in her first two years - the first Swarthmore soccer to ever to accomplish the feat.
Kanuka led the Swarthmore offensive attack, scoring a team-high 17 goals to go along with three assists for 37 points. Kanuka scored more goals than any other player in the Centennial Conference this season, including nine game-winners, another category for which she led the conference. Kanuka was the standout player in a Garnet attack that registered more goals in 2006 (36) than any season in the past six years.
The Garnet made great strides this fall, having four players named to the All-Centennial team after rounding out a 15-win season (breaking the school record).
