Anderson, Norfolk Represent Valpo on MVC All-Tournament Team

Valpo soccer seniors Allie Anderson (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South [Xavier]) and Nicole Norfolk (Menomonee Falls, Wis./Divine Savior Holy Angels) represented the Beacons on the MVC All-Tournament Team, as announced at the tournament’s conclusion on Sunday afternoon.

Anderson returned from injury, coming off the bench to play the final 63 minutes of the semifinal match with Murray State in the midfield. Her impact on the game was immediate, as after being out-shot by the Racers 6-2 in the first 27 minutes of the match, Valpo out-shot MSU 20-11 with Anderson on the field.

After missing the final three-plus matches of the regular season due to injury, Norfolk returned to the starting lineup in her familiar center back spot against the Racers in the semifinals. The senior was her usual strong presence in the back, helping hold MSU to just one goal.
