Bio
From Hall of Honor press release date July 6, 2009:
Sarah Newlin was the first Wittenberg women's soccer
student-athlete to earn All-America honors, and she remains the
lone Wittenberg female student-athlete (regardless of sport) to
earn national player of the year honors after picking up that award
in 1995. A four-year starter in goal for the Tigers, Newlin led her
teams to a cumulative 51-23-3 record, including a 17-12-3 in the
challenging NCAC. As a senior, Newlin spearheaded one of the best
seasons in program history as she allowed just seven goals while
making 153 saves as the Tigers posted records of 15-3 overall and
6-2 in the NCAC in 1995. Individually, Newlin was named first-team
All-NCAC in 1993, 1994 and 1995, and NCAC Defensive Player of the
Year in 1995. She was later selected to the NCAC's Women's Soccer
20th Anniversary Team. Still the school record-holder for career
and season saves, the Middletown, Ohio, native and current
resident, earned a degree in psychology from Wittenberg in
1996.
