Aston, PA (November 7, 2007) – Sophomore Kelly Oakes, senior Hilary Smith, and sophomore Laura Shivley were
selected to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Team released by the conference office on Wednesday. 

Oakes, Smith, and Shivley have been selected for embodying the mission of the PAC and promoting team sportsmanship throughout the season.

Oakes, a middle blocker from Wilmington, DE, was a team captain of the 2007 volleyball squad and a previous 2006 All-PAC Honorable Mention selection.  She led the team with 191 kills this season, averaging 2.27 kills per game. 

Smith, a forward from New Tripoli, PA, scored one goal and tallied one assist for the soccer team this season.  She notched the game-winner in a 3-1 victory over Penn State Berks on September 18. 

Shivley, a No. 2 singles competitor from Allenstown, NJ, posted a 7-5 record at the No. 2 singles position this season.  She also went 6-6 at the No. 1 doubles slot with senior Colleen Ford.  Shivley helped lead the Falcons to 12 wins this season, which tops an 11-year old school record of nine wins in a season set by the 1996 PAC Championship team.  Cedar Crest also broke the school record for most PAC wins in a season.  The Falcons won six PAC games in 1996, 1997, and 2006.  The 2007 team boasted seven PAC wins.
