The Shoreline Community College women’s soccer team signed four student-athletes to NWAACC Letter of Intents recently to play soccer at SCC in 2010-11 for the Lady Dolphins.

Anastaja Norins-Endres, a forward and middle player from Shorewood High School will join SCC. She scored 9 goals for Shorewood in 2009 and had 2 assists as a senior. Anastaja scored almost half of the goals for SHS in 09 and will be expected to a offensive weapon for the Dolphins in 2010.

Desiree Nickell, a middle forward for Lake Stevens High School and was named a 2nd Team player in the WESCO North Conference. She had 2 assists for LSHS in 2009 and is strong on the defensive side of the ball with a great passing touch as well.

McKensie Grafe, a defensive player for Lake Stevens High School and made 2nd team All-WESCO North as well. A very aggressive player with great tenacity, she is the type you hate to play against as she disrupts offenses with her defensive play.

Lori Deland, a middle forward from Jackson High School. She was the starting center/middle forward for the top ranked team in the state until she tore her ACL one month into the season. But still scored 3 goals and had 1 assist before her injury.

 The SCC women’s soccer team was 8-5-4 in 2009, 7-3-3 in the region and finished second in the NWAACC Northern Division. The team won its opening round NWAACC playoff game against Olympic College but lost in the quarterfinals to Walla Walla CC. The Lady Dolphins were NWAACC Northern Division Champions for 5 straight years until last season. The SCC squad finished third in the NWAACC Championship in 2007 and 2008.
