ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - The Capital Athletic Conference announced its 2007 all-conference women's soccer team and Salisbury University had four players earn a spot on the first and second teams which includes senior forward Kate Weaver who was named CAC Player of the Year.

Weaver led the Sea Gulls to a second place finish in the CAC tournament, an at-large berth into the NCAA tournament and the most wins in a season (14) since 2001. The Abingdon, Md., native leads the team in all three scoring categories with 11 goals, eight assists and 30 points.

For her career she has recorded 89 points which ranks second all-time as a Sea Gull, scored 36 goals which ranks third all-time and is fourth all-time with 17 assists. Weaver is the first Salisbury player since Ava Tasker in 1996 to be named CAC Player of the Year.

Senior Robyn Bishop garnered a spot on her second consecutive All-CAC team as she was named to the first team as a midfielder. Bishop ranks second on the team with nine goals and has added one assist for 19 total points this year.

The final Sea Gull to earn a spot on the first team is sophomore defender Hillary Grove. She has helped the Sea Gulls to a conference best 0.59 goals against average and has scored a pair goals and had one assist on the year.

Junior goalie Gena Goodson was named to the second team as she has posted a 10-3-1 record in net for the maroon and gold. Her 88 percent saves percentage ranks 20th in the nation and her 0.71 goals against average is second in the conference to SU's Kristin Greene who has logged 200 less minutes then Goodson.

In coach Jim Nestor's seven years at the helm of the SU women's soccer program 21 student-athletes have earned all-conference honors and now a CAC Player of the Year. Nestor was last season's CAC Coach of the Year.
