Women's Soccer senior Shannon Desmond (Chandler, Ariz.) was named valedictorian of Seton Hall's Stillman School of Business for the graduating class of 2011. The four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star was honored on Sunday and officially graduated with her classmates during commencement ceremonies Monday morning.
Desmond, who graduated Summa Cum Laude, appeared in 67 matches for the Pirates over the last four seasons and made 56 starts. Although regarded more as a strong defender, she provided timely offensive outputs throughout her career including an assist on the game-winning goal against Cincinnati on Senior Day this season.
The senior midfielder spent the entire 2010 spring semester studying abroad in Ireland.
