Junior soccer midfielder, Stephanie Mole', earned the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Medal of Merit as Union's “Outstanding Junior Female Athlete of the Year.”
The medal is presented to the junior female athlete who has combined excellence on the fields of competition with excellence in the classroom or outstanding service to the college.
Mole', an economics major from Newton, Massachusetts, was a member of the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's All-Conference, First-Team after helping the Dutchwomen capture the UCAA's regular-season and postseason tournament title. Union, which posted an overall record of 14-5-1 in 2002, qualified for the NCAA National Championship Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. A two-year starter and three-year letterwinner for the Dutchwomen, Mole' has also been a member of the UCAA's All-Academic team the last two years (freshmen are not eligible) by maintaining at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average.
A converted forward, Mole' was a first-team all-conference selection after she led the Dutchwomen in scoring during her sophomore season with 13 goals and 31 points.
