News & Notes

Sept. 9, 1996 -- The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin newspaper today named Carole Skeeters as one of its two Athletes of the Week. The recognition was based on the Whitman senior's contributions to the previous weekend's two season-opening road victories. Skeeters scored one goal and assisted on another in a 5-0 victory over Albertson College. She also had an assist in a 2-0 triumph over Western Baptist.

Sept. 16, 1996 -- The Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges today named senior goalkeeper Genie Huntemann its Player-of-the-Week for women's soccer. Huntemann recorded 26 saves in shutting out both Central Washington University and Seattle University last weekend. Whitman has won its first four games of the season, all by shutouts.

Sept. 16, 1996 -- Based on its season-opening four shutout victories, Whitman today cracked the top 20 in the NAIA national soccer poll, making its debut in the No. 19 slot. Willamette dropped from No. 11 to No. 20 in the poll, while Whitworth plummeted from No. 2 to No. 16 after losing to Seattle University last Saturday. Seattle University, which then was upset by Whitman 1-0 on Sunday, moved from No. 21 to No. 10 in the poll.

Sept. 30, 1996 -- After losing its first and only game of the season to Willamette, Whitman slipped to No. 28 in today's NAIA national coaches poll. Willamette is now ranked No. 9.

October 28, 1996 -- One day after winning its final regular season game, Whitman returned to the NAIA national rankings, edging into the No. 29 slot.
