Baker is now a two-time first team all-region selection for the Pirates, in addition to two straight years as a First Team All-Northwest Conference honoree. She was named NWC Defensive Player of the Week (Nov. 3) while leading the Pirates to four straight shutouts at the end of the season and she was a key reason the Pirates had a team goals-against average of 0.98 and finished second in the NWC in fewest total shots allowed. She also finished with five goals and three assists in 2008.

Oakes, who was a third team all-region choice last season, totaled six goals and four assists for the Pirates to share the team lead in goals scored. She was also the Bucs' leading goal scorer a year ago.

Ramsey also finished with six goals and four assists for Whitworth this season, the best offensive output of her career. She was the NWC Offensive Player of the Week on November 3rd.

Crowe, a second team all-region choice in 2007, finished with four goals and four assists this season. She had the game-winner in a 2-1 victory at Cal St. East Bay in September.

Whitworth finished the season 15-4-1 overall and 11-4-1 (second place) in the NWC. The Pirates were ranked among the top-25 teams in the weekly NSCAA/adidas Division III coaches poll all fall.
