2016 All-Ohio:
History was made on Sunday evening as Olivia Siko and Kellie Norris were both named Division I All-Ohio for this past season. This is the first time in the 24 year history of Avon Lake girls soccer that the team has had two players in the same year named All-Ohio. Additional firsts were achieved as Olivia Siko became the first Shoregal player named First Team All-Ohio as well as she was the first Shoregal to be named All-Ohio twice – she was Second Team All-Ohio in 2015. Kellie Norris earned a place as Second Team All-Ohio. No other team in the SWC had two players named as All-Ohio and only 4 other schools in Division I had two players named All-Ohio. Siko and Norris became the 11th and 12th players in Avon Lake girls soccer history named as All-Ohio. Just a tremendous accomplishment for these players, the coaches, and the program in general as this shows the amount of respect the girls have earned from other coaches from their play on the field.
