Ashley Payne, the freshman midfielder from Worthington, toughed it out during the OAC semi-final game against Capital with- believe it or not-a broken arm. Her admirable derring-do earned her much respect and admiration from her coach, Brandon Koons. According to Koons, her arm was so badly broken that she recently had surgery to put a pin and screw in her arm. "She broke her arm in the 57th minute of the game, but didn't tell anyone until after the game," said Koons. The women's soccer team finished out the season at 10-7-2. Payne made four goals this season, ending up with a 19 percent shot average.
