WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - After winning the program's 10th CAA title and earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament, William and Mary Tribe head women's soccer coach John Daly and five players were honored by the Virginia Association of Sports Information Directors (VaSID) with All-State accolades on Friday.

Daly was named the Coach of the Year, while junior All-American Mallory Schaffer was named VaSID State Player of the Year.  Joining Schaffer on the all-state first-team were senior Diana Weigel and freshman Emory Camper, while junior Cortlyn Bristol and sophomore Dani Rutter earned second-team all-state honors.

The 2011 campaign was a terrific one for both Daly and the Tribe, as the College posted a 17-3-2 record on the year on its way to winning the conference championship.  Daly, who has now won VaSID State Coach of the Year honors five times during his illustrious career, also was named the 2011 NSCAA/Mondo Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year and CAA Coach of the Year.  During his 25 years at the helm of the Tribe women's soccer program, Daly has become one of the finest coaches in the nation.  Never having suffered a losing season under his watch, Daly's all-time career coaching record stands at an impressive 347-140-41 (.696).

The VaSID State Player of the Year honor is just the latest accolade to be given to Schaffer following a tremendous 2011 campaign.  Earlier this month, Schaffer became the 14th player to be named an All-American in school history, earning first-team honors from the NSCAA.  The Allison Park, Pennsylvania native was also named Second-Team Soccer America MVP, First-Team All-Region, CAA Player of the Year, First-Team All-CAA, and a Hermann Trophy semifinalist.  Schaffer led the CAA in goals with 17 and points with 40.  Her six assists on the year ranked in a tie for seventh, while her six game-winning goals were the most in the conference.  With her state player of the year honor, Schaffer is just the second player in program history to earn the distinction, joining Claire Zimmeck who earned the honor in 2006.

Earning first-team all-state honors for the second time in her career was Weigel, who helped lead a stout Tribe defense this season.  This year, Weigel was the leader of a Tribe defense that allowed just 17 goals and recorded a CAA-best 11 shutouts.  Weigel, a Fairfax, Virginia product, also contributed on the offensive end this season, scoring three goals and dishing out five assists.  For her career, Weigel totaled eight goals and 17 assists, earning First-Team All-CAA honors three times and All-Region accolades twice, including first-team honors this season.

An immediate contributor this season for W&M, Camper was named VaSID First-Team All-State after earning CAA All-Rookie honors as well.  Camper, a Virginia Beach, Virginia native, led all CAA freshmen with 21 points, seven goals, and seven assists.  Overall, Camper tied for fifth in the CAA in assists and tied for 11th in points.  Camper came out on fire, scoring a point in her first five collegiate matches.  Her best game came against No. 13 Georgetown, when the rookie scored a pair of goals, including the match winner.

Earning VaSID Second-Team All-State mention this season was Bristol, who was also named First-Team All-Region and First-Team All-CAA.  Teaming up with Schaffer this season, Bristol gave the College one of the most potent offensive midfields in the country.  Bristol totaled 23 points on seven goals and nine assists in 2011.  The Chantilly, Virginia native ranked eighth in the CAA in points, while her nine assists tied her for second in the league.

Joining Bristol on the all-state second-team was Rutter, who had a breakout 2011 campaign.  Rutter totaled 25 points on the season, leading the CAA and ranking 17th in the country in assists with 11.  The York, Pennsylvania native also netted seven goals, including two game-winners.  Rutter came up big in tournaments this season, earning CAA, Tribe Invitational, and VCU Invitational All-Tournament honors over the course of the year.
