AUSTINTOWN, Ohio — The Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) released its 2007 women's soccer award winners Tuesday (Nov. 13) morning, and Head Coach Pat Holguin's Marietta College squad had two players earn league honors. Senior Colby Cardwell (Anchorage, Alaska/Robert Service) and junior Jessica Martinez (Strongsville/Magnificat) both received All-OAC honorable mention in 2007.

Martinez, a 2006 All-OAC honorable mention honoree, led the Pioneers in scoring with a team-high eight goals and two assists this fall. The forward, who started all 17 games, had three game-winning goals this season. She has now collected 21 goals and five assists in her career. Martinez will enter her final season ranked third all-time at Marietta in goals scored (21) and points (45).

Cardwell, a midfielder, also started all 17 games this season. She scored a pair of goals, including one game-winner, while controlling the offense from the center of the field in 2007.

The Navy Blue & White found its share of success this season, winning the Penn State-Altoona Tournament for the fourth straight year and taking second place in its own Marietta College Classic. The Lady Pioneers finished with an overall record of 8-8-1. They placed sixth in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a league record of 3-6.
