Women’s Soccer
2002-2005
Sherina Wood staged an All-American women’s soccer career at Northwestern between 2002 and 2005, finishing as the program’s all-time
leading scorer with 75 goals.
She joined the Northwestern soccer
program in just its second year of existence and
quickly helped transform the Rangers into big
winners. Over her four years, Northwestern compiled a 52-23-5
record.
The 2003 Rangers won a school record 10-straight matches and earned a trip to the Regional Playoffs. Wood
scored a school-record 24 goals in 21 games and was named Sooner Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the
Year.
In 2004, Northwestern strung together a 13-match unbeaten
streak on the way to its first SAC title.
Sherina scored all three Ranger goals during the 2004 Regional Tournament. Northwestern
downed Northwoods
(Texas) 2-0 in the Semifinal round before
falling in penalty kicks to
Oklahoma Christian in the championship
game.
Sherina was recognized as a Third Team NAIA All-American in 2004 after earning Honorable Mention
status in the two seasons prior.
Wood still holds Northwestern single-season records for goals (24 in 2003), points (53, 2003), points-per-game
(2.58, 2002), goals-per-game (1.21, 2002), game-winning goals
(7, 2004), shoots (88, 2004), and shots on goals (56, 2004).
Sherina is the Rangers’ career leader in points (160), shots (220), shots-per-game
(2.03), goals (75) and goals-per-game (0.95).
Don Raleigh
Track&
Field
1984-1987
From 1984-87, track and field star Don Raleigh was a four-time outdoor and three-time
indoor NAIA national qualifier.
Raleigh owned the Oklahoma Intercollegiate
Conference, winning titles in all four of his
years.
Don was a three-time
All-American in the high jump, twice finishing as
national runner-up.
Don’s personal-best of 7-feet stood for many years as the school, conference and district
record.
Don’s success began long before his time as a Ranger. He was a four-time state qualifier during his prep days at Claremore
Sequoyah, winning a state championship as a senior. His best of 6’8 remains a school record.
Raleigh was also a standout in the classroom. He
graduated from Northwestern with a
Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences,
finishing with a 3.72 GPA. He holds a
master’s degree from Oklahoma State and is currently working
toward his doctorate.
Don’s career path took him into the education field. He coached high school basketball, track and football from 1988-2000, helping lead Southlake Carroll to the 1993
Texas 3A State Football Championship.
Raleigh transitioned from the classroom into administration in
2002 and has spent the past six
years as Superintendent of
the Pryor (OK) School District.
He was named 2012 OASA District 6 Superintendent
of the Year.
