Here's a time-waster that might be fun for the summer, since we've just come to the end of a decade. Put together your all-decade team for your favorite team, conference, or in a real argument starter, division. Any player who played during a season from 2000-2001 to 2009-2010 is eligible. I'll start with my particular area of expertise, Princeton:
First team:
Forwards: Gretchen Anderson, Andrea Kilbourne, Kim Pearce
D: Annamarie Holmes, Laura Watt
Goalie: Roxanne Gaudiel
Second team:
Forwards: Heather Jackson, Liz Keady, Marykate Oakley
D: Aviva Grumet-Morris, Sasha Sherry
G: Kristen Young
A few notes: the hardest choice is goaltender, as Princeton had three great ones over the decade. I can't believe I'm leaving off Megan Van Beusekom but there it is. Anyone who would rank the three in any order would get no major argument from me.
Laura Watt split her time between forward and defense, but I put her at D here just so I could get her on the first team. She was a terrific player.
