VOTE FOR CAROLINE BRAWNER

HAMILTON – Colgate women's soccer senior captain Caroline Brawner was recently announced one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award.
 
Throughout her senior year so far Brawner has led the Raiders to a 13-game unbeaten streak, an RPI ranking of 23, the top spot in the NCAA Division I Women's Mid-Atlantic Poll for four straight weeks, while also helping Colgate receive national votes for five consecutive weeks.

This two-year captain has made 72 starts for the Raiders, missing just one game in her career due to injury. She is a two-time All-Mid Atlantic Region Honoree, three-time All-Patriot League Recipient, while being named to the All-Academic Patriot League team twice.
 
She has compiled 18 multi-point games, while notching 17 goals, 15 assists and 49 points so far in her career. This four-year letter winner currently sits tied for 16th all-time in career assists.
 
Brawner also excels in the classroom, majoring in international relations with a 3.53 cumulative grade-point average. Along with making the All-Academic Patriot League Team twice, Brawner has been named to Colgate's Academic Honor Roll all three of her years. 
 
This Edmonds, Washington, native already had been named a 2014 Senior CLASS Award semifinalist back in September. Now she is the only one of the 10 finalists, two from the true midfield position, still in the running.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total-student athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
 
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character
and competition. The complete list of finalists follows this release.

The finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 30 men's candidates and 30 women's candidates announced in September. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote on the Senior CLASS Award website through November 24. Fan votes will be combined with media and Division I head coaches' votes to determine the winner.
 
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2014 NCAA Men's and Women's College Cup® championships in December.
