From Hall of Honor press release date July 6, 2009:

Sarah Newlin was the first Wittenberg women's soccer student-athlete to earn All-America honors, and she remains the lone Wittenberg female student-athlete (regardless of sport) to earn national player of the year honors after picking up that award in 1995. A four-year starter in goal for the Tigers, Newlin led her teams to a cumulative 51-23-3 record, including a 17-12-3 in the challenging NCAC. As a senior, Newlin spearheaded one of the best seasons in program history as she allowed just seven goals while making 153 saves as the Tigers posted records of 15-3 overall and 6-2 in the NCAC in 1995. Individually, Newlin was named first-team All-NCAC in 1993, 1994 and 1995, and NCAC Defensive Player of the Year in 1995. She was later selected to the NCAC's Women's Soccer 20th Anniversary Team. Still the school record-holder for career and season saves, the Middletown, Ohio, native and current resident, earned a degree in psychology from Wittenberg in 1996.
