Weed, out of Seattle's Lakeside High, was the Seattle Times' Female Athlete of the year for 1999.

This season she was fourth on the Crimson in points, with five goals and four assists. Her presence in the midfield often frustrated opponents and stalled offensive strikes from opposing teams.

Weed was the only freshman named to the first-team All-Ivy squad, and her role will continue to grow as Wheaton looks for a way to make up for the loss of Berman and Blain.

"The transition to the college game hasn't been too difficult," Weed says. "The main differences are that the college game is more physical and fast paced."

"The senior leadership has been extremely valuable to the success of our team," she adds. "The support and confidence they have shown to the freshmen has allowed us to play up to our potential."

D Katie Urbanic

Urbanic was an All-State selection in 1997 and 1998, and earned Gatorade Player of the Year recognition in her home state of Minnesota.

Although she started only five games this year, Urbanic looks to have an important place in Wheaton's plans for next year, with the loss of Ivy League Player of the Year Jess Larson and back Gina Foster.
