MURFREESBORO ? As the lone senior in a talented soccer lineup, midfielder Tori Hawkins had the task of being the leader for a youthful Siegel girls soccer team in 2011.
She excelled at the roll, too.
Hawkins, a two-time District 7-AAA Offensive MVP, led Siegel with 11 goals and had six assists this past season. The MTSU commitment helped lead the Lady Stars to the TSSAA Class AAA state quarterfinals.
And today she has been named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association?s Class AAA All-State team. It?s the second straight year that Hawkins has been named to the squad.
Hawkins also was recently named an Academic All-American by the NSCAA. She is Siegel?s second soccer player to garner the award and first since former standout Brittney Winn.
Hawkins is joined on the TSWA team by Oakland junior defensive standout Shelby Coleman.
Coleman, who was named the District 7-AAA Defensive MVP, had 14 assists for the Lady Patriots this past season.
She also helped anchor a defense that recorded five shutouts.
Her play helped the programs? resurgence, which reached the Class AAA sectionals a year after making its first trip to the state tournament since the 1990s.
