Shannon
Keelan - Women's Soccer
Shannon
had a spectacular junior year in 1998 where she was named Third Team All-American,
First Team All-Region, she set a new school record for goals in a season
with 21 and the team advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. But in game one of her
senior year Shannon collided with the goalie
at the College of Notre Dame and tore her ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus
on 9/2/99. Shannon then began
4 weeks of "prehab" to strengthen her knee and increase her range
of motion. On 10/14/99 Shannon underwent surgery for an ACL reconstruction
using a patellar tendon autograft. The surgery was performed by her own
orthopedist, Dr. Harry Bade of Professional
Orthopedic Associates at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch NJ.
Shannon returned to Stockton and began
her rehabilitation 5 days per week. She continued this until Christmas
break, where she continued her rehab at Novacare in Bricktown NJ. When
Shannon returned to school in January she again began rehab at Stockton
5 days per week, for the remainder of the semester (until May). She was
jogging 14 weeks post surgery and began agility drills and plyometrics at
4 months. She continued her functional rehab on her own during the summer.
She returned to soccer field in August of 2000. During the season Shannon
continued her rehab two days per week here and competed in every game. Keelan
was named the NJAC Conference Player of the Week in October. She finished
the season with 36 points, 11 goals and 14 assists. Shannon was also named
Second Team All-Conference. She led the team to a 13-4-3 record and to the
ECAC Tournament Finals. By the end of soccer season Shannon had completed
128 rehabilitation sessions at Stockton since her injury.A patellar tendon autograft is an ACL surgery using the middle 1/3 of the athletes tendon to replace the torn ACL.
