It’s now time for the Fall 2011 CCSN Newcomer of the Year. These 3 players stood above the rest during the season. Remember, Christian College Sports Network DOES take into account how a player plays at the National Tournament, and their wow factor, BUT some player’s stats are too hard to overlook. Come back tomorrow for the CCSN Player of the Year awards, but here are the Fall 2011 CCSN Newcomer of the Year:
Women’s Soccer
Heather Thompson (Fr.)
Northland International University
CCSN Player Rating: #1
Awards:
CCSN Standout 11
Stats:
Goals: 14

Quote:
“The hardest thing I had to learn this season (especially dealing with my injury) was that my strength would never be enough and that true strength to play through the next second of every game would only come through Jesus Christ. Another big thing I wanted to change throughout this season was giving the talent that the Lord gave me of playing soccer back to Him and not use it for myself”
“The experience of getting to attend this National Tournament grew me so much both tactically and spiritually. It grew me tactically because it was a better level of competition and I needed to pick up my intensity to help my team out. It grew me spiritually because I had to make sure I was playing for the right reasons all the time.”
