BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott defender Caitlin Peters (Salem, N.H.) earned the most votes at the fullback position in her selection to the 2012 New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl.
The annual game, which pits the best graduating women's soccer players from New England Colleges, will be played on December 2nd at Merrimack College, with an 11 AM kickoff.
Peters is a two-time Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Defensive Player of the Year and is a three-time member of the All-CCC First Team. She headlined a Gulls backfield that sported a 0.50 goals against average in 18 overall matches and a miniscule 0.32 goals against average in nine league matches. In those CCC matches, Peters and the Gull's backfield allowed just three goals on 19 shots on net.
Offensively, Peters scored her first two career goals this year, one of them the game-winner against Nichols on October 17th.
This is the third year in a row that Endicott has had a member of their women's soccer team selected to the NEWISA Senior Bowl.
Peters is one of six members of the CCC to be selected to this year's game. Two players from Gordon College earned the nod, as well as one player each from Wentworth, UNE and Salve Regina.
