Dartmouth's Myra Sack Named Lowe's Senior CLASS Award Candidate
8/27/2009 10:30:00 AM | Women's Soccer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dartmouth women's soccer senior Myra Sack (Wynnewood, Pa.) has been named one of 30 national candidates for the prestigious 2009 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
A total of 30 female NCAA Division I soccer players have been selected as national candidates from an extensive pool of nominees. The award - presented annually to the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete of the Year in eight sports - focuses on the “Four C's” of classroom, character, community and competition.
Sack and men's senior Craig Henderson (Wellington, New Zealand), both co-captains of their respective teams, are among just six Ivy League candidates in the field, four women and two men. Dartmouth is one of only five schools to boast a candidate on both the men's and women's sides.
A starter since her freshman year, Sack is the engine for Dartmouth's midfield and returns as the Big Green's leading scorer from 2008. As a junior, she picked up first team All-Ivy and first team NSCAA All-Northeast accolades after tallying 11 points. Sack earned All-Ivy honorable mention as both a sophomore and junior and has started 43 of 47 career games played. As a rookie, she helped Dartmouth earn a national ranking as high as 13th.
Sack has given a tremendous amount of herself to others through community service, showing leadership through her work. She is the co-founder of Athletes United, a program that provides free sports leagues to underprivileged local youth. During the winter of 2009, she traveled to Nicaragua to volunteer for Soccer Without Borders, an organization that seeks to improve the lives of marginalized youth through soccer and sport.
While maintaining a 3.61 grade point average in government studies, Sack has earned 2008 NSCAA Scholar All-America second team and Scholar All-Northeast first team honors along with Academic All-Ivy accolades.

From the list of 30 candidates for each gender, a national media committee will select 10 finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award in early October. Those ten names will be placed on the official ballot for a nationwide vote through mid-November. Fan balloting will be coupled with votes from coaches and media to determine the male and female recipients. Lowe's will announce the winners during the 2009 NCAA Men's and Women's College Cups in December.
The award was conceived by sportscaster Dick Enberg, who continues to serve as Honorary Chairman. It was inspired by the remarkable story of former Duke University basketball player Shane Battier, who could have been an NBA lottery pick but returned to college for his senior season and led the Blue Devils to the National Championship in 2001.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior Class Award was launched during the 2001-02 season to honor the attributes of college basketball seniors who remain committed to their university and pursue the many rewards that a senior season and complete college education brings. It has since expanded to include seven other NCAA sports including soccer.
