Three student-athletes from the Becker College women's soccer team have been voted to the 2018-2019 New England College Conference (NECC) All-Conference team in an announcement by the NECC on Friday. Awards are voted on by NECC coaches.
Senior forward Lindsey Keith (Sutton, Mass. / Sutton) was named to the All-NECC first team while senior forward Ciara McKissick (Charlton, Mass. / Shepherd Hill Regional) and sophomore midfielder Shannon Kelley (Bellingham, Mass. / Blackstone Valley Technical) were named as All-NECC second team selections.
Keith will conclude her storied career as one of the all-time greats in the history of Becker College athletics. The senior has set school records in both career goals (73) and points (170). She has been voted to the NECC All-Conference team all four of her seasons with the program. This season, Keith has scored a career-best 24 goals, one off the school's single-season record. She is tied for third in the nation in goals and ranks fifth in points. She has four game-winning goals on the year and 16 for her career. Keith was named NECC Player of the Week four times this season.
McKissick has been voted to the NECC All-Conference team for all four of her seasons at Becker, and currently has 28 career goals and 23 career assists for 79 points. This last season, she and Keith served as team captains. This season, she finished with one goal and six assists in just 13 games.
Kelley, a transfer from Mount Ida College, had an incredible first season for the Hawks. Kelley scored six goals with 13 assists for 25 points, scoring two game-winning goals along the way. Kelley not only leads the NECC in assists, she ranks sixth in the entire nation in helpers.
