A heartbreaker

The 2009 Luther College Women's Soccer team's season has come to an end. After a heartbreaking 0-1 loss to Simpson College in the IIAC semifinals, Luther is headed home to regroup and start planning for next season.

Some highlights:

Luther was only scored on four times in IIAC play

Hannah Wright, Luther junior, is credited with 10 shutouts on the season, along with Luther's defense-led by seniors Kendra Dornfeld, Jill Nerka, Ashley Meirick and sophomore Sami Sojka. These 10 shutouts place Hannah third in Luther's record books for single-season shutouts.

The Norse did not allow a goal in eight of their last nine games.

Hannah was also named defensive player of the week twice!

The Meirick sisters, Ashley and Dani (sophomore) were named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VII Women's Soccer Team. Check out the link: http://sports.luther.edu/women/soccer/season/2009/news/academicalldistrict.htm

Dani led the Norse in scoring with 13 goals and 3 assists for 29 points
Anna Grinde (junior) was next with 5 goals and 3 assists for 13 points
Kelsey Balk (junior) was third with 5 goals and 2 assists for 12 points
Kendra Ledel (sophomore) with 4 goals and 4 assists for 12 points

There are SO MANY other highlights from the season-and so many wonderful memories and photos to share... more to come.

As always... GO NORSE!
