Congrats to Stephanie. I would say she had a lot of good competition for this award, not only from a soccer perspective but academic and community service which this award takes in account. Pretty impressive to be selected as a sophomore and again as a junior especially over some of the quality senior candidates of the last two years.

Does anyone know how the player of the year is awarded? By committee or individual? I know a lot of paperwork is submitted with GPA, soccer accomplishments, community involvement, recommendations etc. but does a committee look at the paper work and decide on the submitted paperwork or go with a state recommender?
