Britta Marmon enters her fifth season as an assistant coach at the

practice/game preparation, recruiting, coordinating team travel and
community service events. Additionally, she serves as assistant director

The 2010 campaign was yet another solid season for the Green and Gold's defense, as it posted seven shutouts over the course of the year. The Tribe started the season on fire, shutting out four of its first five opponents en route to being ranked No. 14 in the nation. Junior defender Diana Weigel earned First-Team All-CAA honors for the second-consecutive season, also earning All-Region distinction after leading the Tribe's defense in 2010.
The Tribe’s defense had another great year in 2009 under the
guidance of Marmon, allowing only 1.16 goals a contest and registering
nine shutouts over the course of the season. Additionally, Diana Weigel
was named the CAA Defender of the Year, the second-straight season a
member of the Green and Gold has earned the accolade. Along with Weigel
being named to the All-CAA First-Team, fellow defender Katilin O’Connor
was named to the all-conference third team.
In 2008, William and Mary had great season with four of its
defenders earning multiple awards. Senior Abby Lauer was named both
all-region and all-conference along with being named the CAA co-Defender
of the Year. Classmate Dani Collins was named an All-American for the
second consecutive year while also earning her third all-region and
third All-CAA honors. Fellow senior Meghan Walker finished her career as
one of the College’s finest goalkeepers with an all-conference
accolade. Freshman Diana Weigel had a great rookie season that was
punctuated with being named to the Soccer Buzz Freshman All-American
team, along with earning all-region and All-CAA Rookie Team honors.
In 2007, William and Mary’s defense was one of the stoutest in
school history, allowing an all-time program-low 11 goals, only 0.48
goals per game, which was also a school record. In total, the team
pitched 13 shutout games, the second-most ever at the College.
Individually, goalkeeper Meghan Walker accounted for 10 of those
shutouts, tying the No. 2 all-time mark she had set the year before.
Walker graduated in 2009 tied for the school record in career goals
against average at 0.78 and ranked third all-time in career saves with
246. Marmon has also taken a firm hand guiding her own development as
well as that of her players, obtaining a National Diploma from the NSCAA
in the summer of 2008.
