Amanda Sudore ’13, senior defender on the 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ women’s soccer team, was honored as a first-team East Region all-star by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Sudore was one of 12 players named to the first team. It marked the third season in a row that Sudore has been named to the all-region team and the second year in a row as a first-teamer.
A native of Ontario, N.Y. and a graduate of Wayne Central, Sudore was a four-year starting defender for the Golden Flyers, who finished with a record of 9-5-6 in 2012 and reached the finals of the Empire 8 Conference tournament. She started all 20 of the Golden Flyers’ games and contributed one goal. More significant, perhaps, is that she spearheaded a stingy defensive group that produced a 0.84 goals-against average with eight shutouts. Over four seasons, Sudore played in 77 games (76 as a starter) and had three goals and six assists.
A communication sciences and disorders major, Sudore also is a three-time first-team Empire 8 Conference all-star and was honored in the fall as E8 Defensive Player of the Year.
Three other 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ players—goalie Abbie Carey ’14, forward Olivia Derleth ’14, and midfielder Sarah Eichelberger ’13—were selected as first-team Empire 8 Conference all-stars. Midfielder Christine Belding ’13 made the second team and defender Sarah Cipperly ’14 and midfielder Mel Gettys ’16 made honorable mention. Also recognized was midfielder Kassandra Prutsman ’13 as 91ÖÆÆ¬³§â€™s representative as E8 Sportswoman of the Year.
