Steffi, Hanna, and Meg were instrumental in that success across the board,” commented Sewanee coach Michele Dombrowski. “I know they are deserving of these awards this year ... but, I am even more excited that all three will be back in uniform for us next year. I think their selections are indicative of the potential we have. Steffi will be a senior, Hanna a junior, and Meg a sophomore next year. They have helped set the standards for us this year, and even greater things will be expected of them as individuals, and us as a team, in 2010.”
