Five Xavier women's soccer players were named to the All-Ohio team for their play in the 2000 season. XU head coach Dr. Ron Quinn picked up Ohio Coach of the Year honors.

Senior forward Annette Gruber (Cincinnati/St. Ursula) was awarded First Team All-Ohio after being named First Team All-Atlantic 10 Conference for the fourth straight year, something only four other players in A-10 history have done. Gruber was named A-10 Championship "Most Outstanding Player" for the second straight year. She led her team in goals (9), assists (9) and points (27). Senior midfielder Erin Coley (Westerville, OH/Westerville South) was also named to the First Team All-Ohio. Coley is a four-year starter and earned All-Atlantic 10 Conference honors for the second straight year. Liz Singer (Cincinnati/Roger Bacon), the third Xavier representative on the All-Ohio First Team, was a member of the Atlantic 10 All-Conference Second Team and the Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team. As the sweeper, Singer helped the Musketeers record a school-record 11 shutouts, including 10 against conference competition.

Freshman Nicole Giesting (Cincinnati/McAuley) and sophomore goalkeeper Megan Vieth (Cincinnati/St. Ursula) were Third Team All-Ohio selections. Giesting, a master of the flip throw, was also an Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team honoree. She was second on the team in assists with 6. Vieth, a transfer from Indiana University, stepped right into the Musketeer starting lineup. Vieth recorded a school-record 11 shutouts in 2000. She was named to the A-10 All-Tournament Team for the Atlantic 10 Championship.

Quinn led the Musketeers to their second Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and their second NCAA Tournament berth in the last three years.
