LYNCHBURG, VA – Lynchburg College senior attack Allie Weir (Richmond, VA/James River) earned her second-straight All-State College Division Player of the Year Award Tuesday as voted on by the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID). Taylor Harding from Virginia Wesleyan College took home the state’s rookie of the year award while Christopher Newport University mentor Carrie Moura earned coach of the year recognition.

            Weir set the Division III all-time career goal (131) and point (297) records this season, leading the Hornets to their fourth consecutive Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) crown. She netted 31 goals and added 13 assists en route to first-team 2009 Longstreth/NFCHA All-American, All-Region and All-ODAC honors.

            Harding, a freshman midfielder, was voted the ODAC’s Rookie of the Year and garnered second-team all-conference accolades. She led the ODAC and the nation with 20 defensive saves.

            Moura guided the Captains to a 16-4 record and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. CNU finished the season with a \#9 Division III ranking and were third in the South Region.
