Capital Earns Three Players to All-Great Lakes Team
Three Capital University women's soccer players have been named to the NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III All-Great Lakes Region.
Seniors Maggie Donnellan (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Hilary Ells (Grandview Heights, Ohio) received first team honors, while freshman Becca Cartmill (Temecula, Calif.) earned third team honors.
Donnellan, who received second team All-Great Lakes Regiona honors in 2012, has been stellar in goal this season for the Crusaders, as she not only earned her third straight Ohio Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Year award, but also has posted an OAC best in save percentage (.883) save percentage and placing second in the conference in goals-against average (0.77), while sporting a 19-4-2 record.
Ells has played a major role in Capital's offensive attack this season, receiving OAC Forward of the Year, while leading the conference and team in points (28) and goals (14).
Cartmill also has made her mark on the Crusaders offense this season, having received first team All-OAC honors, while leading the conference and team in assists (10) and placing eighth in the OAC in points (18).
All three players have made a major impact on a team that will play in the NCAA Division III semifinals on Friday vs. William Smith (N.Y.), a feat that is a first for the Crusaders women's soccer program.
