Soccer
Class of 2010


Elizabeth Burchenal is one of the best soccer players in the nation, a two-time All-American who helped lead St. Ursula to back-to-back Ohio state championships her sophomore and junior years. She scored an incredible 37 goals-14 assists her senior year, giving her a school-record 104 goals and 50 assists in her great career. The accolades have been numerous, including this season being named Ohio, Southwest Ohio district and Cincinnati Division I Player of the Year. She was once again named Sportswoman of the Year by the local Women’s Sports Association, the only honoree to receive that award twice. Elizabeth was named to ESPN’s girls’ soccer all-decade team and, as a junior, was a finalist for the LaRosa’s MVP of the Year award. This two-time Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year will continue her soccer prowess at the University of North Carolina.

CONGRATULATIONS, ELIZABETH!
