MEGAN DONOVAN
WOMEN'S SOCCER + WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRYÂ /Â SENIOR (FIFTH YEAR)Â /Â ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA - DEL NORTE HS
Even before going on a three-goal scoring outburst on the soccer field late in the month, fifth-year senior Megan Donovan was already accomplishing new feats as a recently-converted dual-sport student-athlete after also competing in two events as a member of the Women's Cross Country team — finishing as the Vulcans' leading runner in both races.
Donovan made her debut as a collegiate runner Sept. 16 at the Chaminade Invitational on O'ahu with a No. 12 finish, just 14 hours after logging 54 minutes in the Vulcans Women's Soccer team's 3-1 win over Stanislaus State.
In her 29th-career soccer game with her 22nd-career shot attempt, Donovan found the back of the net for the first time as part of a 6-0 win over Academy of Art on Sept. 25. Three days later, Donovan added two more scores to get the Vulcans on the scoreboard of a 3-0 victory over Dominican (Sept. 28).
The Hawai'i Hilo Women's Soccer team went 7-0-1 through the month of September and achieved a top 25 ranking of No. 6.
