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.
