Jones Receives All-Conference Honors
July 29, 2007
Princeton, NJ - The W-League announced its All-Conference Teams this weekend, giving the New Jersey Wildcats goalkeeper Robyn Jones a spot on the All-Eastern Conference Team.
The complete list includes 33 standout players in the 2007 season representing 20 different clubs, who were identified and voted on by team coaches and general managers.
Robyn Jones had a fantastic season for the New Jersey Wildcats making 60 enormous saves that kept her team in the game.
Never missing a match or a moment, she tallied 1160 minutes which is more than any of her fellow teammates received.
Her 2007 season statistics:
G: 13 GKM: 1160 GA:14 GAA: 1.086 GKW: 5 GKL: 5 GKT: 4 SO: 3 SAVES: 56 SHFC: 127
"I was really shocked," said Jones. "It really is an honor to be voted for by other coaches in the conference, this is one of my proudest accomplishments to date. I really enjoyed my summer with the Wildcats because it reminded me that soccer can be very competitive while still being a lot of fun."
The Wildcats are grateful to have such a dominating presence in goal especially one who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her opponents’ shots from hitting the back netting.
Jones looks back on this season with fond memories: "I was happy to be able to play every game and be available for my team and coaches. The girls were great to be around and the coaches did a wonderful job too. When you have a great team around you, it makes you play better."
The team looks forward to having her play for the squad throughout the 2008 season.
