Cressy named nation’s top deaf female athlete in ‘08

Freshman soccer player Emily Cressy, a Ventura, Calif., native, has been named the 2008 Female Athlete of the Year by the USA Deaf Sports Federation.

Cressy was named Big 12 Rookie of the Year and was a Freshman All-American as well. A forward, Cressy scored eight goals and contributed three assists. Four of her eight goals were game-winners. Cressy started the season strong, scoring three times in the first three games before cooling off.

Kansas finished the season 13-8-2 and played in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four years.

Purdue track and field athlete Joshua Hembrough was the male athlete honored. The USA Deaf Sports Federation is the sole national association of deaf sports in the United States.
