• Two Washington County players helped Bethany to a 9-8-2 record and received All-PAC honors. Junior midfielder Lisa Wabrick of Washington and a Canon-McMillan graduate, was named to the first team and was the anchor of the Bethany midfield. In addition to scoring three goals and assisting on three others, Wabrick's work in the middle helped the Bison give up a league-low 182 shots.
"Lisa was a captain and leader by example on the field," Bethany coach Barry Christmas said. "Her competitive spirit was evident for all to see game in and game out. Her courage was obviously noted by the other PAC coaches."
Sophomore forward Cassie Spalding of Claysville led the conference in goals, game-winning goals and points. The McGuffey graduate had 14 goals, six assists, 34 points and was named to the all-conference second team.
