Selvage coached three All-Americans, the Defensive Player of the Year, five All Region athletes, six All PSAC athletes, and the PSAC West Player of the Year.   Selvage also was awarded the PSAC West Coach of the Year.  The Lady Eagles look forward to continue their success in the 2010-2011 season.

2009 was yet another fantastic season for the Selvage led Lady Eagles of Lock Haven.  In 2009 the team posted an 18-4 record with, a 7-1 record in the PSAC West.  The squad won the PSAC West Regular Season Championship, and then went on to become the PSAC Tournament Champions.

Selvage also coached the National Defensive Player of the Year, four All-Americans, five All-Region athletes, the PSAC West Player of the Year, the PSAC West Rookie of the Year, and six All PSAC athletes in 2009.

The Lady Eagles finished the 2008 season ranked No. 6 nationally after going 15-4 overall and 12-2 in the PSAC, advancing to the conference championship game where they fell to No. 1 West Chester University, the 2008 NCAA Division II National Champions. Along with the Haven’s three All-Americans in ’08, they are joined by four all-region selections and five all-conference athletes.

Following the 2008 season, junior midfielder Jessica Blickenstaff, was named IWLCA NCAA D-II Midfield of the Year for the second straight year, thanks in large part to Selvage's guidance.

In 2007 her Lady Eagles appeared in the NCAA Final Four. The squad finished 16-4 and 12-2 in the PSAC.  The team broke numerous records in the 2007 season including most goals in a game (27) and assists in a game (20).  The 2006 squad also has several individual honors including two First Team All-Americans and three All-PSAC First Team.

In 46 games, she posted 255 saves and 20 shutouts. Her career goals-against-average of 0.90 ranks in a tie for fifth place among all Lady Eagle keepers.  

Selvage played on The Haven’s 1994 and 1995 NCAA Division II National Championship squads, and was also part of three PSAC post-season tournament championships from 1994-96. She also experienced success as a member of the Lady Eagle lacrosse team, garnering Second Team All-America and Second Team All-PSAC honors as an attacker in 1998.
