PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland Pilots senior Danielle Foxhoven is one of 30 NCAA women’s soccer student-athletes selected as candidates for the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Foxhoven, who tied for the team high last year in both goals and assists, is also a Soccer America Preseason All-American and she was named to the Preseason All-West Coast Conference Team. The native of Littleton, Colo., enters her final season on The Bluff with 49 career goals, which ranks fourth all-time at UP.
