2015 Nov 12

Emily Doherty repeated as a NEWMAC Women's Soccer All-Conference selection, as voted upon by the conference head coaches following the regular season.

Emily Doherty once again landed on the first team while Susannah Gray repeated as a second team selection.

Doherty set the program record for goals (18) and points in a season (41) and ends her career ranked second in all-time with 37 goals and third with 87 points. The local product's 2015 goal and point totals also led all NEWMAC student-athletes overall while her output in league play ranked second (6) and third (15), respectively. For her career, Doherty added 13 assists to go with 10 game-winners in 72 games played.

Gray, a two year starter for the Engineers, has became a massive presence in the midfield. Her athleticism, competitiveness and desire to push herself have made her anchor of the WPI women's soccer team. Gray helped setup a pair of tallies this season, including the game-winner in the 2015 opener versus Salve Regina.

WPI, who appeared in all three public NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Regional Rankings, tied the program's record for wins in a single-season with an 11-5-2 overall mark under fourth-year head coach Steph Schafer. The Engineers defeated Springfield for the first time in program history en route to a 5-3-2 conference record and the fifth-seed in the 2015 NEWMAC Women's Soccer Championship.
