"Jenna is an absolute workhorse on the field," North head coach Ed Manly said. "Her ability to come up with big plays and always be in the right spot makes her one of our most valuable players.  Her offensive and defensive talents as a mid-fielder are going to be very difficult to replace upon graduation this spring.  I know Jenna will contribute right away to C.W. Post's top 5 Division II program."

Last season C.W. Post finished 16-2 overall and lost to Adelphi, 14-9, in the Division II National Championship.
