LCC Angels, regional champions, reap individual awards

[November 03, 2008]  The Lincoln Christian College Angels, champions of the NCCAA Midwest Regional Division II, garnered many individual awards this weekend.

Named to the all-region team and eligible to be named as all-Americans are Adriane Tschantz, Jessica Schroeder, Jamie McFadden and Megan Donnelly. Named to the all-tournament team were Most Valuable Player Megan Donnelly, Krystine Schnautz and Nicki Wingfield. Newcomer of the Region is Schnautz, and the Midwest Coach of the Year is Jason Farr.

Before the Angels go to the national finals in Omaha next week, they will be in action Tuesday evening, when seniors Jessica Schroeder and Jessica Bunting will be honored. The Angels will host Hannibal-LaGrange, a team they lost to in the first match of the season in five games. Coach Farr is encouraging all students to attend and take part in a student contest at center court between the second and third game of the evening. Several high school recruits will be present for what Farr is calling a "huge night."

Commenting on the regional tournament, Farr said: "The team played so well together that I did not have to call a single timeout during either of the matches. I really hope that we will be able to pack the gym Tuesday evening to show our support to the team for all of the hard work they put in to accomplish what they have so far this season."
