SEATTLE (Feb. 12) -- Shannon Lovejoy, the top scorer for Seattle Prep the past two seasons, has signed a national letter of intent to play soccer for Seattle Pacific University next fall.

Lovejoy, the first recruit for Coach Bobby Bruch during the offseason, helped lead the Panthers to a 15-7 record and fourth place in the state 3A playoffs last fall. She was a three-year starter at center midfield and also played basketball for Prep. Lovejoy also paced her club, the Stellarz, in goals and assists for two seasons and was a member of the state Olympic Development Program.

Seattle Pacific finished its first season of play with an 8-10-1 record in 2001. The Falcons took fourth in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
