LADY VIKINGS SENIOR NIGHT

Mallory Baum proudly wears #10 for the Lady Vikings and represents it very well playing in over 10 matches with over 170 points through 56 goals and 61 assists. She is a 4-time TAPPS 1st Team All-District selection and 1st Team All-State selection every year since her freshman year. She is a 2-time Nolan Offensive Player of the Year and a 3-time TAPPS All-Tournament selection. She adds multiple dimensions to the game and is dangerous on and off the ball. She will play college soccer for SMU in the Fall and they are very lucky to have such a gifted player. She was voted as TAPPS District 1 Co-Player of the Year this year.

Sam Clark has been with the varsity program for the past 3 years and has been termed the “team mom” many times. She was the T-Award recipient last year and her selfless attitude is one of those intangibles that help this program be one of the most consistent programs in the country. She has been asked to wear many hats within this program and she does it at the drop of a dime—never complains, just plays. She has played in over 40 games for the Lady Vikings and will continue her soccer career at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX.

Sam Henggeler was put into the fire immediately 2 years ago after she spent her first 2 years with the JV—she saw her first real action in the TAPPS Playoffs her sophomore year and has been an important key to the success of the program since then. She has played in over 50 games for the Lady Vikings and was a TAPPS 2nd Team All-District selection last year and again this year. She was also Nolan Lady Vikings Defender of the Year last year. She is extremely consistent and her carefree attitude has helped the Lady Viking defense frustrate the best attacking teams in the country.

Maura Kolkmeyer has been with the varsity soccer program here at Nolan Catholic since her freshman year. She has played in over 90 games for the Lady Vikings in those 4 years. She along with many defenders in the program don’t stand out statistically but her consistent play has helped the Lady Vikings give up less than 1 goal a game in the past 4 years in over 110 games. She has gone through some injuries throughout the last couple years but has been able to battle back to play in whatever role she is asked to play. Maura’s dedication and commitment to the Lady Vikings Soccer Program is appreciated.

Morgan Ulliman has experienced Lady Viking Soccer for just about 8 years now as she took over for her sister when she graduated 4 years ago. Morgan has been a varsity starter for the past 4 years—2 games shy of 100, scoring 54 goals and 23 assists for over 130 points. She is a 4-time TAPPS 1st Team All-District selection and a TAPPS 1st Team All-State selection in 07-08. Morgan adds a presence to the game that is unmatched by any opponent, she is solid in the air and can play with her back to goal or facing the goal. She will also continue her soccer career in college and is close to narrowing down which school that will be.

Sarah Williamson has spent the last 3 years on the varsity soccer team and each year she continues to prove how valuable she is to this program. She has the ability to run up and down the field putting herself in many significant spots on the field. She has been very opportunistic in her goal scoring. She is one of those players whose workrate pushes the team over the top at times. Sarah has played in over 70 games for the Lady Vikings and has scored 22 goals and 12 assists for 56 points. She was a 2nd Team All-District selection this year.
