Council Rock Northalum tabbed All-Centennial

The Haverford College women's soccer team earned a number of individual honors Tuesday, Nov. 10 as announced by the Centennial Conference office in a postseason press release.
Sophomore Katie Van Aken, a Council Rock North alum from New Hope, and junior Maura Schiefer were tabbed for the First-Team All-Centennial squad, junior Michele Buonora was named Second-Team all-conference while senior Erin Dowling earned Honorable Mention league honors.
Haverford head coach Jamie Gluck, who in just her third season with the program has already led the Fords to three Centennial playoff berths, was voted the 2009 women's soccer Coach of the Year by the league's coaches. The team's third place finish in the 2009 standings was the highest since the 2005 season when the Fords finished in a tie for second place.
This is Schiefer's second all-league honor after finishing the 2008 postseason with a Second-Team all-league honor. Buonora was an Honorable Mention player last season and this is Van Aken's first postseason conference honor.
Van Aken paced the offensive attack for the Fords with nine goals and one assist. She was third in the league in goals scored, goals per game (0.50) and game-winning goals (4). Her 19 points for the year was sixth-most in the Centennial.
Schiefer helped spearhead a defensive back line that allowed just 16 goals over the season, fourth-fewest in the league. The Fords' goals against average of 0.86 per game was also fourth-best and their 10 shutouts was tied for second-most in the conference.
Buonora tallied three goals and added two assists for a total of eight points, third most on the squad. The lone senior of the bunch, Dowling, concluded her final season with identical statistics to Buonora's.
Gluck improved her career mark at Haverford to 29-20-6 with the 2009 season's 12-3-3 record. The team's 12 wins this year was fourth-most in program history.
