The senior midfielder adds a Player of the Year honor to her four first-team awards.

Senior midfielder Quinn Simmons (Medina, Ohio/Medina) has capped off her successful four-year career in Granville by being named 2008 NCAC Offensive Player of the Year. Simmons scored 37 goals and dished out seven assists in leading the Big Red to a second place finish in the conference. In 55 career contests, she scored 132 goals, including nine game winners and was named to four consecutive first team all-NCAC squads, including the 2005 Newcomer of the Year award.

Joining Simmons on the first team is senior attack Meg Wilcox (Sewickley, Pa./Quaker Valley) and defenders Katie Kubasta (Medina, Ohio/Medina) and Bethany Keller (Worthington, Ohio/Thomas Worthington). Wilcox scored 38 goals and handed out ten assists in her final season en route to a second consecutive first team award. Kubasta and Keller follow up their all-tournament team selections with their first honor on the all-conference team.

Junior defender Michelle Bennett (New York, N.Y./Taft) is Denison's lone selection on the second team list. She recorded 15 goals and seven assists in being named to her first all-conference team.

Wrapping up the Big Red honors are senior forward Hayley Stineman (Darien, Conn./Darien) and senior midfielder Katie Grunst (Pittsburgh, Pa./Ellis). Stineman was a 2007 first-team selection before an injury derailed her senior season. Grunst is appearing on the all-conference team for the first time in her successful four-year career.
