2007 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Volleyball Teams
The awards keep rolling in for the Lady Mariners, winners of the North Atlantic Conference regular season and conference tournament. On the same day they were to take the court for their first ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Regional Championships, MMA had two of their players rewarded for their efforts in the classroom. Nicole St. Pierre (Baileyville, ME) and Becca Allen (Bucksport, ME) were honored as District 1 College Division selections for 2007.
The ESPN Academic All-American Teams were selected by CoSIDA (Sports Information Directors of America) for 5 districts throughout the country. Junior Nicole St. Pierre was a First Team selection, while senior Becca Allen was a Second Team selection. This is the first time in the schools history that any female student-athlete at Maine Maritime has received an Academic All-American award for their efforts on and off the playing fields.
Joining Nicole St. Pierre (pictured above right) on the first team was Amanda Morris (MIT; North Potomac, MD), Katie Becofsky (New Palz; Altamont, NY), Carey Demos (Bentley; Bakersfield, CA), Christina Sadowski (Bentley; Salem, NH), Carrie Buchanan (MIT; Carthage, TX), and Rhe-Ann Niles (New Haven; St. Thomas, Barbados).
Joining Becca Allen (pictured below right) on the second team was Amanda Hubbard (Ithica; Horseheads, NY), Lisa Drennan (Wesleyan; Ann Arbor, MI), Jen Shaughnessy (Keuka; Le Roy, NY). Jamie Kraus (Potsdam State; New Paltz, NY), Lauren Flanagan (Adelphi; Boulder, CO), and Dana Hilfinger (Rochester; Ann Arbor, MI)
Allen and St. Pierre were the only recipients honored from Maine and two of only four student-athletes from New Englanders to be selected.
