Viks earn double honors

Two members of the Portland State women’s soccer team were selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Scholar All-West Team over the winter break.

Senior forward Dolly Enneking was honored on the Second Team, while junior midfielder Frankie Ross was named to the Third Team. The NSCAA also awarded Portland State with the College Team Academic Award for a 3.1 overall GPA.

Enneking, who is Portland State’s all-time leading goal scorer, helped the Vikings win their second Big Sky regular season title this season. She was the Big Sky Offensive MVP and was awarded the Golden Boot for her 12 goals and three assists during the season.

This is Enneking’s second academic accolade of the year. She was named to the CoSIDA’s Academic All-District VIII Team in October along with senior co-captain Nathalie Wollmann. Enneking currently holds a 3.54 GPA in business administration.

Ross, also a former Golden Boot awardee, has a 3.64 GPA in health sciences. Her previous academic laurels include two selections to the Academic All Big Sky team. This season, Ross scored three goals and three assists, with all of her goals coming during crucial conference matches. She will be spearheading the offense for the Viks in the upcoming season.

The selection of Enneking and Ross marks Portland State’s first selection to the NSCAA team.

“It’s great to see that both Dolly and Frankie are being recognized for their work off the field,” Laura Schott, head coach and conference coach of the year, said in a statement released by the school. “They both work very hard on and off the field, and they’ve been good students since they started here.”

The Vikings capped 2009 as Big Sky Regular Season Champions with a 10-6-4 record. They were the highest-ranked Big Sky team in the country and had nine selections to the Big Sky All-Conference Team, including the offensive and defensive MVP. The team will kick off their 2010 season in April.
