ibby had another strong

season as a Mariner and

is the first NAC women’s

soccer player to earn both Player

The women’s soccer team had the

second-lowest goals allowed (6)

and goals against average (0.67)

in conference games. Libby was

instrumental in helping MMA

concede less than one goal per

game on average and record the

second-most shutouts (5) in

conference action this season. The

two-year captain also chipped in

on offense, netting three goals and

recording two assists against NAC

opponents.
