Shareen Sutherland

Edgewater's Shareen Sutherland, at 5 feet 10, uses her sheer size to muscle and play above opponents inside the box. Sutherland garnered 39 goals and 10 assists this season for an inexperienced Edgewater team.


Highlights


Edgewater lost a lot of talented seniors from the previous season, and Sutherland was left with a lot of inexperience around her. It didn't stop her from totaling 39 goals and 20 assists for the Eagles (15-6-3), who struggled at times but played right with the best teams. "She basically had to be an assistant coach with me," Edgewater Coach Jason Mann said.

In her own words

"I just go out in every game and play hard. I play my best, no matter who we're playing. I'm constantly trying my best, and I think other coaches have been able to see that."

Outsider's view

"Her size and her skill on the ball. She is also pretty intelligent." --
Ocoee Coach Prince Borde, on what makes Sutherland so tough to defend

What the future holds

With her high school career over, Sutherland is itching to get to work at Wake Forest, where she will play next season. "I wish the school year would end right now," she said.
