The Fighting Scots 2009
Women's Soccer Team
Broms nets first all-conference honor
 November
16, 2009Hillary Broms, a junior defender on the women’s soccer
team, was recently named to the All-Midwest Conference second team.
She received all-conference votes from eight of the other nine league
coaches and narrowly missed a spot on the 11-player first team.
“Hillary has been one of our leading players the past three seasons,
and I was very pleased that the other coaches in the conference
recognized that this year,” said s head coach Barry McNamara.
“She has made a habit of playing tenacious defense while also making
well-timed advances up the field into our attack. Hillary has a knack
for beating her mark to the ball time after time, and she knows what to
do with it when she gets it.”
Broms started all 18 of Monmouth’s games this fall and rarely left
the field. She has one goal and six assists so far in her MC career and
has played in all but one of the Scots’ 54 games during her career.

MWC PERFORMER OF THE WEEK |
Monmouth's Fluegel is Performer of the Week
 September
28, 2009Katie Fluegel (Rockton, Ill./Hononegah) scored the
game-tying goal in the Fighting Scots’ 1-1 double-overtime tie with
Grinnell in the Scots’ conference opener and was named the Midwest
Conference Offensive Performer of the Week in women’s soccer.
Fluegel’s lone goal tied the game with perennial
power Grinnell in Monmouth’s conference opener on Saturday. Monmouth had
never beaten or tied Grinnell in 18 previous matches, but Fluegel’s goal
in the 61st minute changed all that. She made the most of her
opportunity, scoring on her only shot of the match. Fluegel has taken
just six shots all season and has put four of them on goal.
