INDOOR SOCCER: Two Martlets earn all-star honours
MONTREAL – Shimone Slomowitz (pictured on left) and Katherine Green, both freshmen with the McGill Martlets, have earned all-conference honours in the Quebec university women’s indoor soccer league. Both were picked to the league’s 11-member first team in a vote conducted by the eight head coaches.

Slomowitz, a 5-foot-5 goalkeeper from West Vancouver, B.C., posted a 4-2 record with three shutouts and shared another goose-egg in seven appearances. She allowed just eight goals in 558 minutes for a goals-against average of 1.29. The commerce major, who turns 19 on April 26, enrolled at McGill last fall out of Rockridge secondary school in Vancouver.

Green, a 5-foot-11 defender from Richmond Hill, Que., led the McGill defensive corps to the third-best defensive record in the eight-team league – one which allowed nine goals in seven games. The 19-year-old political science freshman earned rookie-of-the-year honours in the outdoor league last fall, where she was a second-team all-star. She previously played for Alexander Mackenzie high school in Richmond Hill.

McGill finished fourth in the Quebec indoor league with a 4-2-1 record. The Martlets blanked fifth-place Concordia 1-0 in a quarterfinal and upset first-place Laval 2-1 in a semifinal before losing 3-1 to the Montreal Carabins in the league championship game.

Laval’s Caroline Vaillancourt was named player of the year and Concordia’s Fanny Berthiaume was selected as the most sportsmanlike player.

The men’s indoor all-stars will be announced Wednesday.
