Bio
Brizard on Rountree: “Shannon is
another person that will provide us with some depth in the center
of the field. Shannon has started to come along and has improved
since last year. Her fitness has improved. Her touch on the ball
has improved. We’re looking for her to step into those spots
that we need and hopefully get her some good minutes every
game.”
In 2011 (Sophomore): Shannon played her way
into an integral role in her sophomore campaign, upping her playing
time exponentially from her freshman year. She saw action in 17
games and started the final three games of the season, playing more
than 600 minutes in the midfield and finishing with one goal. She
scored her first collegiate goal off a rebound against Murray State
on Oct. 14. Shannon finished with eight shots on the season, three
of which were on goal. She posted a shot percentage of .125. She
was named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.
In 2010 (Freshman): Shannon played in two matches
in her freshman season at Tech. She looks to take on a more
integral role in 2011 as she will compete for time in the midfield.
She was named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll as well
as the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
HIGH SCHOOL: Rountree earned five varsity letters
in high school from Coral Springs Christian Academy, four in soccer
