TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN SOCCER PLAYER

A member of the Florida Southern women’s soccer team, 20-year-old Meghan Kelly, was killed Monday in a traffic accident. Her twin sister, Melissa, was critically injured and is hospitalized in intensive care The accident occurred shortly before 11 a.m. at the junction of U.S. Highway 27 and State Road 29 in Glades County.

The sisters were returning to Lakeland from their hometown of LaBelle, Florida when the accident occurred. Reports indicate their car was struck broadside by a tractor-trailer vehicle.

While both sisters were juniors academically at Florida Southern, Meghan was a sophomore in athletic eligibility. She had been granted a medical hardship ruling after missing the 2006 season due to an injury.

Melissa, a defender, played in 11 games and Meghan, who was a midfielder/forward, played in eight this past fall, as the Moccasins went 12-7-1, compiling the best record in the program’s history.

Both were majoring in physical education and had earned perfect 4.00 grade point averages for the fall semester. Their parents are Kevin and Michele Kelly of LaBelle.

ALL-AMERICAN GIRL: CLAMPITT-HOLSENBECK NAMED
DAKTRONICS DIVISION II FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN

The first NCAA Division II women's soccer All-American team has been announced and a familiar face is on the list. Senior defender Amy Clampitt-Holsenbeck was selected a First Team All-American in voting conducted by sports information directors from NCAA Division II schools and conferences.

The first Florida Southern women's soccer player to earn All-American honors, Clampitt-Holsenbeck was also the first to be named the Sunshine State Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Year. She earned both honors in her first year as a defender, moving to center back after playing as both a midfielder and forward earlier in her college career. Clampitt-Holsenbeck helped the Mocs limit their opponents to just 9.6 shots per game, a new school record, and set another school record with seven shutouts.

The senior from Winter Springs was also the team's leading scorer with nine goals and her 20 points were second on the team. Those 20 points were the most in the country for any defender at the Division II level, one more than Elaine Zaveckas of Seton Hill (PA). Five of her nine goals this season were game-winners.

Florida Southern's 12-7-1 record was the best in the program's 10-year history, and the Moccasins narrowly missed their first ever NCAA postseason bid. They were bumped from the field after an upset winner claimed the automatic bid from the Gulf South Conference Tournament.

Among the others named to the Daktronics All-American Team was midfielder Courtney Evans of Tampa, a Second Team selection and the only other player from the SSC. Montevallo midfielder Stacey Balaam was a First Team selection and West Florida forward Dernelle Mascall was on the Second Team.

Top-ranked and undefeated Grand Valley State (MI) dominated the team with four selections, all on the First Team. The Lakers are scheduled to play Tampa in the national semi-finals on Thursday, November 29. Franklin Pierce (NH) and Seattle Pacific are in the other semi-final game, and they were represented with a total of five players.

Daktronics, which sponsors the team, is a world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. Founded in 1968 by two South Dakota State University professors, Daktronics grew from a provider of electronic voting systems for state legislatures to one of the world's largest suppliers of electronic signs. In 2006, Daktronics installed the world's largest high-definition screen at Darrell Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas, known as the "Godzillatron".

The NSCAA All-American team will be announced at a later date.
