BAY CITY, Mich. - The Saginaw Valley State
University women's soccer team had three athletes earn All-GLIAC
Honors for the 2009 season. Senior forward Jaclyn Barrett
(Williamston, Mich.), senior midfielder Renee Privette (Port
Huron, Mich.), and freshman defender Abby Bellamy
(Davidson, Mich.) were all named to the 2009 All-GLIAC Second
Team. SVSU head coach Drago was tabbed as the
2009 GLIAC Women's Soccer "Coach of the Year" after leading the
Cardinals to a school-record 13 wins in the 2009 regular season.
Barrett was the only Cardinal to start all 17 games in the
regular season. She recorded 12 goals, including two
hat-tricks and two game-winning goals, to go along with four
assists while contributing a team-high 28 points.
Privette had three goals, including two game-winners, and five
assists this fall for SVSU, totaling 11 points for the Cardinal
offense from the midfielder position in 17 total contests.
Bellamy started in 15 of the Cardinals' matches this fall, and
was a key part to an SVSU defense that held opponents to 0.68 goals
per game and 9.1 shots per game for a 0.78 shot percentage.
She also added two goals, one a game-winner and an assist as a
defender this year for the Cardinals.
Drago earns the GLIAC "Coach of the Year" award for the first
time in his seven seasons at the helm of the SVSU women's soccer
team. He has led the Cardinals to five-straight winning
seasons, including a team record 13 victories this fall.
Under the guidance of Dumbovic, the Cardinals have posted nine
shutouts during the 2009 season with a starting lineup that
features a majority of underclassmen. SVSU has posted a
13-2-2 overall record and a 10-1-2 record in GLIAC play, with its
only defeat coming at the hands of nationally-ranked Grand Valley
State.
