Shannon is the team’s leading scorer this season and has been an offensive force throughout her Tiger career. In the home meeting with Butler, the forward scored her 50th career goal.

She is a multi-time All-WPIAL player, Big 56 All-Conference and all-section selection in her time at NA. Shannon led the Tigers in goals last season with 19. Two years ago, the forward led the team in scoring with 10 goals. That followed a 2023 campaign where she tallied 15 markers and finished second on the roster behind the University of Kentucky’s Abigail Stager.
Middle Tennessee State competes at the NCAA Division I level as a member of Conference USA. Last season, the Blue Raiders were 11-6-3 overall and qualified for the postseason, advancing to the second round of the Conference USA Women’s Soccer Championship Tournament.
