Shoey

I am sure this isn't news to anyone, but Shoey was drafted in the Supplemental Draft by the Professional Soccer team in Portland. 

I am so happy for Shoey and for her great opportunity. 

I actually watched the 2010 Penn State game in April and I really focused on what Shoey did.  Shoey was absolutely amazing.  She was all over the field and created so many opportunities.  Early on in that game she had a great chance that was saved with a great play by the goalkeeper if my memory serves me correct.  (So did Annie.  Annie was a great save and a crossbar away from scoring a goal and I wish she did so badly.  Annie was a great player who everyone wishes would have been able to show off a full and healthy senior year)

Shoey's goal against Siena, which is a game that is for so many reasons very forgettable, was just amazing.  We needed a goal so badly and Shoey took an amazing shot from outside the box which curled in. 

Shoey also had some great plays that people forget about.  Her hustle to get the ball against Colgate set up Hillary's goal and her effort against Wake lead to Danielle's goal. 

I am happy for Shoey and I hope to see her play one day.  I have to admit that I wasn't really planning on trying to see a professional soccer game soon, but if Shoey is playing I will make every effort to be there and watch her.
