Colby Magazine - Winter 1998 A Sweet Season
Led by All-American Jenna DiSimone '98, the women's soccer team reached the Division III Sweet Sixteen, the furthest a Colby team in any sport has advanced in NCAA post-season play.
    After defeating Plymouth State to advance to the New England regional final, the Mules finally were eliminated by Middlebury in a classic, four-overtime battle played in a torrential rain. Middlebury scored after two hours and 41 minutes of play to break a 0-0 tie in the fourth sudden-death overtime period.
    The team's performance is by far the best of any at Colby since the College began participating in NCAA post-season competition in the early '90s.
    DiSimone ended her Colby career tied for seventh in career scoring with 14 goals, 7 assists and 35 points. She was the first women's soccer player in Colby history to be named All-American and was also named to the All-New England, All-NESCAC and NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Athletic Association) teams.
