CENTERVILLE, Mass. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference announced on Wednesday the 2011 ECAC Division III New England Women’s Soccer All-Stars. Three institutions picked up major individual awards this year: Castleton State College, Babson College and UMass Boston. Courtney Chadburn of Castleton -- who is pictured far right -- was voted the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year, goalkeeper Lisa Wojnar of Babson (shown, left) was voted the ECAC Defensive Player of the Year and Krista Ledin of UMass Boston rounded out the individual awards by earning the ECAC Rookie of the Year.
Chadburn, a senior from North Clarendon, Vt. (Mill River Union) led Castleton in points, scoring 20 goals and 17 assists for 57 points in 2011. She ranked fourth in NCAA Division III with 17 assists and fifth with 57 points. She finished her career as Castleton’s all-time leading scorer with 86 goals, 41 assists and 213 points. Chadburn was recently named the North Atlantic Conference’s (NAC) Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive year and has also earned CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year and NSCAA All-New England Honors this offseason.
A senior from Bellair, Texas (Episcopal), Wojnar backstopped a Babson squad to an 11-5-2 overall record. She had a 0.58 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage over 18 games. Wojnar was named the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Co-Player of the Year and was also selected to play in the New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl. Additionally, she was named to the All-New England Third Team.
Ledin was the Little East Conference’s (LEC) leading goal scorer and point earner with 23 goals and four assists for 50 points making her the Rookie of the Year for the LEC. This is the third time in the last four seasons that UMass Boston Women’s Soccer has had a player earn LEC Rookie of the Year honors. Ledin was also named to the LEC All-First Team. Her seven game winning goals led the Little East and place her tied for sixth in the nation.
