The Pendleton sopho- more goalkeeper was named the league’s Conference Keeper of the Year. “As a first-year goal- keeper, she was phenome- nal,” Pendleton head coach Paul Parker said. “She has a natural athletic ability. It was a tough year — there were a lot of shots on her all season long. But she had an innate ability to work through the difficult times quickly and get back and focused. She’s been an extremely valuable asset to the team.” Sophomore forward Reilly Lovercheck was named to the IMC’s first team, and sister Kelsey Lov- ercheck, a sophomore mid- fielder, was an all-confer- ence honorable mention. They were the Bucks’ only two returning starters this year. “They’re quite a pair,” Parker said. “They have an extremely high self-mo- tivated inclination. They have a desire to be better all the time. They’re prob- ably two of the most driven athletes that we’ve seen in the past three or four years. They fought through early season injuries and came back strong. They’re a great pair to have on any team.” The Bucks ranked No. 5 in the league standings at 2-12 overall and 2-8 in the conference. “It was rough,” Parker said. “We were really young. What was amazing about this team is that they just kept improving and kept playing. There was no quit in them. We knew from the beginning it was going to be a rough year. They were in several matches, but their youth and inexpe- rience kind of won out. But there was no quit. I’m really excited about the pros- pects about this particular team in the next few years to come.” Football: McElroy, Lineman of the Year Continued from Page B1 never satisfied.” Wagner, a junior, aver- aged 33.9 yards per punt this season.
