Soccer Announces Annual Awards

LAFAYETTE-Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns women’s soccer team held their annual awards banquet and announced their yearly award winners.  Six Cajuns were honored with awards for their hard work during the 2008 season. 
 
The Cajuns named a Most Valuable Player on both sides of the ball.  Callie Oliver (Texas City, Texas) was named the team’s Offensive MVP, while Stephanie Weston (Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada) was the Defensive MVP. 
 
Oliver, who earned All-Louisiana and was twice Sun Belt Player of the Week, finished the season with a team high 14 points. Her seven goals on the season were enough to make her just the fourth person in school history with seven plus goals in one season. Oliver played in all 19 games starting 17. She is UL’s all time leader in career points (37), goals (15) and match winners (5).
Weston finished her Cajuns career as one of the most prolific goalies in school history. Weston is at the top of almost every category for goalies. She is first in saves, shutouts and wins. She is third in career goals-against-average.
 
Gayla Foster (Glen Carbon, Ill.) won the Cajun Pride Award.  Foster was injured prior to the 2008 season and missed the entire year.
 
Jordan Blevins (Grapevine, Texas) was honored with the Ultimate Cajun Award. Blevins played in all 19 games while starting 15. She had one assist on the year. She helped the defensive hold opponents to 33 goals and two shutouts. The junior-to-be has three assists in her career.
 
Carleigh Martin (Oakville, Ontario, Canada) earned the Most Improved Award.  Marin appeared in 18 games while starting 12. She had one assist and eight shots-on-goal during the 2008 season.
 

Allison Baker (Alton, Ill.) was named the 2008 Newcomer of the Year. The 5-5 freshman helped the Cajuns to a 1.68 goals-against-average.
