ST. PAUL, Minn. –  Macalester College senior midfielder Ella Short (Denver, Colo./Denver East) received All-MIAC honorable mention as the conference announced its season-ending awards today. This is the first All-MIAC honor for Short, who started 36 straight games to finish her career as a Scot.

Short was a key part of Macalester's central midfielders as a ball-winner and distributor. She logged over 1,000 minutes of playing time while starting all 17 games this season. Short registered an assist in a 5-0 win over Crown on Sept. 4, and also assisted on the game-winning goal by first year forward Reese Preston (Los Altos, Calif./Summit Prep) in a 3-1 victory at St. Scholastica on Oct. 12. In 66 career games, she totaled three goals and five assists for 11 points while starting 51 games.
