RRONE RONE STADIUM he Huskies

J oseph J. Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of just under 4,500 and a natural grass playing surface, is one of the finest college soccer facilities in the nation. The natural grass playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards, the maximum dimensions for a collegiate soccer field. The stadium has undergone major improvements over the past several years. This new-look Stadium has been funded by both state monies and by private contributions through the UConn Friends of Soccer support organization. The latest part of the new-look to Morrone Stadium are its visual enhancements which provide recognition of historical team and individual achievements. These enhancements are panels that have been placed in each end zone as well as on the front side of the press box. Prior to the 2010 additions, Morrone Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last feature added was a full field lighting system, installed right before the 2000 soccer season. The addition of lights to Morrone Stadium was a tremendous boost to the soccer program. The facility is one of the top collegiate sites in the nation and the ability to play matches under the lights means the national-level soccer program has a national-level, state-of-the-art home surface, day and night. In addition, the matches played under the lights create an enjoyable atmosphere which can involve the entire soccer community and generate a positive effect on home game attendance. The enhancements over the years at Morrone Stadium include: a state-of-the-art scoreboard and message center; aluminum bleachers; replacement of the natural grass surface, with new grass and an irrigation and automatic watering system installed; and one of the top press boxes in the country. The fully enclosed and heated aluminum-sided press box measures 120 feet. It includes a 60-foot midsection for working media, rooms for television and home and visiting radio, an enclosed upper camera deck, and special hospitality areas for guests. Additionally, television monitors are positioned throughout the press box for viewing the game action below. On April 11, 1997, the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Connecticut Soccer Stadium as the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The naming of the stadium enables the Division of Athletics to recognize the significant contributions that Joe Morrone has made to the growth of soccer on all levels, but more specifically at the University of Connecticut. Coach Morrone retired as head coach of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer at Connecticut following the 1996 season. In 28 years directing the UConn program, Morrone compiled an overall record of 358-178-53, and in 39 years as a collegiate head soccer coach he compiled a 422-199-64 record, ranking him as one of only four collegiate soccer coaches with more than 400 career victories. In 1981, he led Connecticut to the NCAA Division I National Championship.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT HEAD COACH LEN TSANTIRIS 14 BIG EAST Players of the Year crowned the BIG EAST Northeast Division Champions and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament. After upsetting No. 2 Nebraska in the Sweet 16 of the tournament, Connecticut advanced to the Elite Eight for the eighth straight season, the 15th time under Tsantiris. The 1999 season was another in a long line of highly successful campaigns for Tsantiris and the UConn women’s soccer program. The Huskies won the BIG EAST Northeast Division title and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the seventh consecutive season. The Huskies won the BIG EAST Conference regular season championship in 1998 with a 10-0-1 record and Tsantiris was honored as the BIG EAST Coach of the Year. He also posted his 300th career win during the season and UConn concluded the overall year 21-2-2, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals. In 1997, Tsantiris fielded one of his best teams ever as the Huskies posted a single-season school record 23 wins en route to an overall record of 23-4-0. Connecticut won four NCAA contests and advanced to the NCAA Division I National Championship game for the third time. For his efforts, Tsantiris was named the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division I Women’s National Coach of the Year. As the architect of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tsantiris has also been honored as the NCAA Division I Northeast Coach of the Year four times (1983, 1987, 1995 and 1996) and BIG EAST Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1998.

Going into the 2008 season, the Tsantiris-led Huskies have averaged 16.9 wins per season. During his 29-year tenure, the Huskies have advanced to the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer National Championship Tournament 27 times. Since the first NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship in 1982, Connecticut and North Carolina were the only two schools to have been invited to every national tournament until the Huskies’ streak ended last season. The 26 consecutive NCAA appearances under Tsantiris have resulted in an impressive three consecutive national championship semifinal appearances in 1982, 1983 and 1984 and four more semifinal appearances in 1990, 1994, 1997 and 2003. The Huskies were NCAA Tournament runners-up in 1984, 1990, 1997 and again in 2003.

Alumni on UConn.. “For me, the decision to attend UConn was an easy one. After visiting many different schools and meeting several coaches, it became clear to me that the coaches at UConn were special. As Coach Tsantiris sat in my living room and talked with my family and me, there was something about him that let me know he really cared about me and wanted what was best for me. After making my decision to attend UConn, I saw nothing less than that. Growing up, I played in the National Pool with many talented players who also went to great programs, many of whom did not play right away. Coach Tsantiris gave me a chance and constantly showed his confidence in me. That is why I was able to be successful and enjoy playing in college. Playing at UConn was the best experience I have had and it would not have been possible without the coaches. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and the relationships I have gained, which will last a lifetime.”

“I chose UConn because I wanted to win a national championship. For me it was about finding the right fit of coaching with the right group of players, and UConn has proven to have both. You can pull all the stats and the records and the accomplishments of other top teams, but when the decision needed to be made it wasn’t about numbers at all. The decision for me was about the atmosphere, the players and the support which gave me a sense of home for the next four years. I wanted to have a team that I felt would be there battling next to me on the field, and when it was all said and done, still be at my side as we move on from this journey. UConn has given me that and more.”

“My desire to play at the highest level of collegiate competition is what attracted me to UConn. Their soccer program’s high national ranking was appealing, but even more impressive was the strong tradition and the high level of expectation. I was positive that my talents would be maximized through the competition from my teammates, the strength of the opponents, and the guidance of Coach Tsantiris. Playing for a national championship was a thrill of a lifetime.”

- Wendy Logan (1988-1991)

“There are several different reasons why I chose UConn. I love the school itself, the size of it, how the campus is set up and, of course, the academic and soccer aspects - the coaches, the players, the facilities, everything! When I made my recruiting trip, I stayed with four older players in the apartments, saw the team play two games and practice and saw the men’s team play. I loved watching them play and loved how they played. But most importantly, I felt so comfortable that I already felt a part of everything. I had a feeling that this was going to be the right place for me. After the recruiting trip was over and I left for home, as soon as we got in the car, I told my parents that this is where I was going. I canceled my other recruiting trips and I chose UConn.”

- Brittany Taylor, (2005-2009) 16

“Playing soccer at UConn was one of the best decisions that I ever made in my life. I knew going in how competitive it would be and what an honor it would be. What I didn’t know back then was that I was making life long friends.”

2010 UCONN WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOCCER

2010 SEASON PREVIEW OF CONNECTICUT UNIVERSITY Elise Fugowski

27 NCAA Appearances z 8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles z 2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles The 2010 Connecticut Huskies enter the season as a unified, confident and focused team laden with experience and skill. UConn will welcome a crop of excellent newcomers highlighted by midfielders Devin Prendergast (Babylon, N.Y.) and Jennifer Skogerboe (Leesburg, Va.) along with a Division II All-American forward in transfer Angelika Johansson (Falkenberg, Sweden). With a nationally renowned coaching staff led by Coach Len Tsantiris and an offensive arsenal that returns 90-percent of the scoring from last year, UConn is poised to make a run into the winter months of postseason soccer. While the loss of the graduating seniors will need to be accounted for, particularly the graduation of Brittany Taylor - twotime BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and the sixth overall selection in the Women’s Professional Soccer League draft this past year - Connecticut returns 20 players who saw action in 2009. Of those 20 players, nine found the back of the net, fueling the third-most potent offense in the league last season as the Huskies generated 1.52 goals per game. With one of the most dangerous eleven in the BIG EAST, UConn will be in search of ways to tighten up a defense that allowed 1.18 goals per game en route towards a fifth-place finish in the American Division. The loss of Taylor and center back Lauren Ebert will provide the opportunity for underclassmen to establish themselves on the back line. UConn will also welcome back 2008’s leading scorer in graduate student Annie Yi (Indianapolis, Ind.). Yi suffered a season-ending injury during preseason in 2009. She finished the 2008 campaign with 13 points on six goals and one assist. FORWARDS The 2009 Husky forwards were a constant threat on the pitch. The 2010 version looks to improve on their offensive prowess of a year ago. The strikers were led in 2009 by current junior Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec). Busque finished 2009 with six goals and a team-high six assists for 18 points. She came through when it mattered as a sophomore, netting four game-winning goals. Busque’s season was highlighted by a stretch of five straight games with a point based on three goals and three assists. If she can replicate that form throughout the 2010 season, she will undoubtedly be at the top of the scoring leaders. Senior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) finished last season with two goals and four assists for eight points. Clark put home the game winner against No. 8 Wake Forest in Storrs on September 13. The spark off the bench in 2009 came from current junior Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.). Shufelt started only five games as a sophomore but managed to rank third on the team with 10 points on three goals and four assists. Rounding out the returning forwards are senior Cory Bildstein (Stockton, N.J.), juniors Alexandra Garufi (Milton, Mass.) and Samantha Kelley (Simsbury, Conn.) and sophomore Hillary Lackman (Willington, Conn.). Bildstein played in nine games last year while Lackman saw action in four. Garufi and Kelley each played in two games in 2009. Garufi made the most of her playing time as a junior, netting a goal in only eight minutes of action. Kelley will be another option up front in 2010. She is poised with her back to pressure and possesses good strength on the ball. Tsantiris and his staff added a trio of forwards to this year’s squad. The Huskies expect all three to contribute this year, led by graduate student Angelika Johansson. Johansson transferred to UConn after a stellar career at Division II Franklin Pierce University in which she was named a Daktronics and NSCAA Third-Team All-American in 2009 after scoring 20 goals. In 2008, Johansson was named a NSCAA First-Team All-American and the East Region Player of the Year for her 29-goal season. Amanda Carvalho (Cheshire, Conn.) and Jessica Frech (Bethesda, Md.) will both bring added firepower to the front line. Carvalho set the Cheshire High School record with 33 goals in a season as a senior and is a transfer from UMass while Frech is a three-time member of the 1992 Maryland ODP Regional Championship team. MIDFIELD With the return of graduate student Annie Yi, Tsantiris and the Huskies have the enviable problem of too many talented players in a loaded midfield. Seniors Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.), Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) and Becky Gundling (Farmington, Conn.) combined with sophomore Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) to form a formative midfield throughout the season. Ruutu immediately established herself as a force in the BIG EAST. She finished the year as UConn’s leading scorer with eight goals and four assists for 20 points. For her efforts, she was named a Second-Team All-BIG EAST selection and a member of the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. Fugowski started all 21 games last season as an attacking midfielder. She finished the year with six points on two goals and two assists. After back-to-back seasons 20

2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 2010 SEASON PREVIEW 14 BIG EAST Players of the Year z 44 All-American Selections z 77 All-BIG EAST Selections with six points, Fugowski will look to make another consistent impact in her final season as a Husky. Gundling started 20 of 21 games this past season as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary holding midfielder. She was named to the NEWISA All-New England Second Team as a junior. Cunningham finished the season tied for third on the scoring charts with three goals, including the game winner in a 2-1 victory at DePaul on October 18. Yi will look to reestablish herself as a dominant player in the middle in her final season of collegiate action. She finished 2008 with a team-leading six goals and one assist in 22 games as a junior. Sophomore Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) will also look to earn time as a returning midfielder. Giddings has solid technical ability and is an excellent striker of the ball. She finished 2009 with two goals and two assists in 18 games. Joining the Huskies this season is a group of three players including a transfer from Siena College, sophomore Michelle Baj (South Windsor, Conn.). Joining Baj are freshmen Devin Prendergast and Jennifer Skogerboe. Prendergast is the reigning Long Island Player of the Year and was named All-State in her sophomore and senior seasons. Prendergast was a standout at the high school and club level with the versatility to impact both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Skogerboe was named to the Virginia High School All-District and All-Region Teams as a senior and has been a member of the Region I Olympic Development Team from 2006-2009. Skogerboe is a very technical midfielder with excellent vision on and off the ball. DEFENSE Graduation hurt the back line more than any other position. The Huskies will have to make up for the loss of NSCAA All-American Brittany Taylor and starting center back Lauren Ebert. The two mainstays of the back line saw more time on the field than any other players. The Huskies do have the luxury of returning NEWISA Third-Team All-New England center back Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.). The junior back played in 20 games last season, starting 19. She made the move from midfield to defense in 2009 and made immediate contributions. Joining Richards on defense will be sophomore Danielle Dakin (Wilbraham, Mass.). Dakin started all 21 games as a freshman, registering one goal for two points. Dakin and Richards will be steady performers on the back line in 2010. The quest to fill the gap left by Taylor and Ebert will start with redshirt-junior Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland (Candiac, Quebec) and redshirt-sophomore Karen Gurnon (Tolland, Conn.). Wilkinson-Maitland came on strong during the second half of last season, playing over 45 minutes in each of the last six games, including the full 90 minutes against Boston College in the NCAA Second Round. Gurnon red-shirted in 2009 after starting all 22 games as a freshman in 2008. Sophomore Courtney Lazos (Medford, N.J.) will look to earn time as a defender in 2010. The lone defender joining the Huskies in 2010 is freshman Taylor Mazursky (Castle Creek, N.Y.). Mazursky joins UConn after a successful career at Chenango High School where she set the school record with 120 goals on the way to being named All-New York on two occasions. GOALKEEPING The Huskies saw steady play from two goalkeepers in 2009. Junior Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) saw the majority of the action, starting 18 of the 21 games. Prior to going down with an injury in the waning seconds of the BIG EAST First Round against Villanova, Dulski owned a 9-7-1 record with five shutouts based on a 1.11 goals against average and a .810 save percentage. Following her injury, current sophomore Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) stepped into a starting role for the NCAA First and Second Rounds. Mancino finished the season with one shutout and a 2-1-1 record to go along with a 1.52 goals against average. Joining the last line of defense this year is a player with international experience between the posts in Leigh-Ann Jaggon (Windsor, Conn.). Jaggon was a member of the Under-20 Jamaican National Team. She was also named All-Conference at Windsor in 2006, 2007 and 2009. WRAP UP The Huskies return a group of veterans with post-season experience primed to make a deeper run into the BIG EAST and NCAA Tournaments come November. Connecticut has a schedule laden with top-25 teams as the Huskies play seven teams ranked or receiving votes at the end of last season. With the returning players and a crop of fresh talent, the future certainly looks promising for the Connecticut Huskies.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 2009 SEASON REVIEW 14 BIG EAST Players of the Year

44 All-American Selections z 77 All-BIG EAST Selections The 2009 University of Connecticut Huskies reached the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in the 28 years of tournament play. UConn finished the year with a respectable, yet unsatisfying, record of 11-8-2. The Huskies were nearly unbeatable at home in 2009, finishing the year with a 9-1-1 record and falling just once at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in a 1-0 overtime defeat against Pittsburgh. While the traditional home dominance continued, the play away from Morrone Stadium was less than what UConn has come to expect. Connecticut went through a stretch in which it won nine of ten games from September 5 through October 4 but lost momentum following a pair of weekend road trips that saw UConn come away with a 1-3 record. The Huskies finished the year 2-6-1 on the road and 0-1 at neutral sites. The Huskies were ousted in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament, falling to Villanova, 4-1, in penalty kicks following a 1-1 tie after 110 minutes. The home performances led to a birth in the NCAA Tournament where Connecticut defeated Boston University, 1-0, before falling in the second round to eventual quarterfinalists Boston College, 2-0. The 2009 season saw the end of a terrific career for senior defender Brittany Taylor (’10). Taylor suffered a season-ending injury in 2008 and came back in 2009 to earn NSCAA ThirdTeam All-America honors. In the process, she was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year for the second time in her career while also being named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, Freshman Linda Ruutu led the Huskies with eight goals NSCAA All-Northeast First Team and the NEWISA All-New Engand 20 points. For her efforts, she earned All-BIG EAST land First Team. Taylor was selected sixth overall in this year’s Second and Rookie Team honors. Women’s Professional Soccer League draft by the Sky Blue FC. She finished her career with 18 goals, including nine game winners and nine assists for 45 points. She was named FirstTeam All-BIG EAST all four years of her stellar career. Connecticut also saw the graduation of three other Huskies. Lauren Ebert (’10), a steady force on the backline, finished her career with three goals and five assists for 11 points. Ebert was a four-year starter on defense who started every game as a senior, playing 1945 of a possible 1981 minutes. Along with Ebert and Taylor, the Husky defense saw the departure of Jessica Diakun (‘10). Diakun finished her career with two goals and one assist for 5 points. The final departing senior was forward Brianna Gray (’10). Gray saw action in 18 games as a senior after hitting the field 18 times combined in her first three seasons in Storrs. Along with Taylor’s list of awards and honors, several other players were honored for their individual achievements and excellence. Individually, several Huskies were selected for All-Region and All-Conference teams. Lauren Ebert (’10) joined current seniors Becky Gundling (Farmington, Conn.) and Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.) on the NEWISA All-New England Second Team. Richards would earn recognition from the BIG EAST as well for her outstanding season. She was named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team following a year in which she moved from midfield to defense. Joining Richards and Taylor on the BIG EAST All-Star Teams was freshman standout Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland). Ruutu had a tremendous first year, leading Connecticut with eight goals and adding four assists for 20 points. She was chosen as an All-BIG EAST Second- Brittany Taylor was named 2009 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year for the second time in her career Team selection and was named to the All-Rookie Team. z

UConn went up 3-0 in the first half and current sophomore Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) found the net twice in the game for her only two goals of the season. Senior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) put home the game winner with seven minutes remaining in the first half. Connecticut would hand Boston University another dramatic defeat when the two teams faced off in the NCAA First Round. After earning an at-large bid to the tournament, UConn faced off against the Terriers for the second time this season. In similar fashion to their first encounter, the Huskies came away with a dramatic overtime victory. Neither team was able to put one on the board until UConn’s senior leader and All-American Brittany Taylor fired a blast from 25 yards out in the 107th minute to put the Huskies into the second round against Boston College. The women’s soccer program was once again a scholastic benchmark for the University of Connecticut Athletics Department in 2009. As a team, the Huskies were honored with a NCAA Public Recognition Award. This award is given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percentile in each sport with their Academic Progress Rates. The Huskies also received the NSCAA 3.0 Award for accumulating a collective GPA above 3.0. At the 57th Annual UConn Club Awards Dinner, Taylor was honored as the 2009 Senior Defender #10 Lauren Ebert Outstanding Senior Athlete for women’s soccer while Ebert was honored as the Outstanding Senior Scholar-Athlete for women’s soccer. The program also had 19 players earn BIG EAST All-Academic honors in 2009.

2009 GAME RECAPS UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 27 NCAA Appearances

Game 1

8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles

BYU 1, UConn 0

Aug. 29, 2009

2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles

University Park, Pa.

A late header by Brigham Young freshman midfielder Carlee Payne off of a corner kick in the 86th minute of the game handed the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team their first loss of the 2009 season. The Huskies fell to 0-1-0 on the year while the Cougars earned their first victory in 2009 improving to 1-0-1. Brigham Young controlled much of the game outshooting the Huskies 9-6. UConn was only able to manage two shots in the first half and didn’t have a shot on goal the entire game. During the second half, the Huskies brought more offense but the majority of their shots taken were blocked by the BYU defense. The Husky underclassmen took five of UConn’s six shots on the day. Freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) led the offense with two shots taken, one in each half. Near the end of the game, the Cougars made some late substitutions that proved to be beneficial as Payne reentered the game with just seven minutes remaining. Less than three minutes later, at 85:17, she headed in the game winner off of a corner kick taken by Anderson sealing the victory for BYU. UConn sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) got the start between the posts for the Huskies, the first start of her career, making three saves.

Game 2

Penn State 3, UConn 2

Aug. 31, 2009

University Park, Pa.

Two late goals by No. 8 Penn State turned a 2-1 University of Connecticut women’s soccer lead into a 3-2 loss in the Huskies final game of the Penn State Tournament Monday. UConn had the advantage for the majority of the game until the 79th minute when a header into the net by Christine Nairn gave the Nittany Lions the advantage they needed to hang on for the win. The Huskies struck early in the game as sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) put UConn ahead in the 3rd minute of play knocking in a shot to the lower right corner of the goal off of a rebound. They held the one goal advantage until the 16th minute when Danielle Toney scored her second goal of the season sending a shot through the UConn goalkeeper Jessica Dulski’s (Pittsford, N.Y.) legs off of a through ball from Katie Schoepfer. In the second half, the Nittany Lions came out firing once again but it was the Huskies that struck first when junior forward Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) broke away from the pack and capitalized on a through ball from senior Lauren Ebert (Hillsborough, N.J.) that split the Penn State defense. Penn State’s offense came on strong, once UConn went ahead firing off shot after shot until they scored the game tying goal in the 76th minute of play. Just two shots and three minutes later, PSU went ahead for the first time all game and held on to that lead for the victory. Penn State outshot the Huskies 30-6 while Dulski finished the game with a career-high 10 saves.

Game 3

UConn 3, Harvard 1

Sept. 5, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

Two three-point efforts by sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) and rookie Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) helped the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team to a 3-1 victory over Harvard, Saturday. Three different Huskies scored in the victory, their first of the season. The Huskies are now 25-4-2 in home openers. UConn got out to a quick lead in the first half scoring two goals in a matter of five minutes. Senior Lauren Ebert (Hillsborough, N.J.) scored first for the Huskies netting a shot from the center of the box to the lower left hand corner of the net in the sixth minute. Senior Brittany Taylor (Campbell Hall, N.Y.) set up the play passing her free kick attempt off to Rutuu who sent a cross right to Ebert. Ebert crossed up the Harvard goalie Lauren Mann and in the process netted her first goal of the season. Less than five minutes later, at 10:03, the Huskies scored again when Busque netted her first career goal on a header over the outstretched fingers of Mann. Sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) was there to help Busque setting up the score while Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) also aided on the play. The Huskies continued with their strong play controlling the ball the majority of the second half. They knocked out a flurry of shots in the 51st minute of play but Busque turned a two-man trap in the corner into a goal scoring opportunity in the 69th minute when she found an open Ruutu. Ruutu controlled the pass from Busque and chipped a shot over Mann sealing the victory for the Huskies and scoring her first career goal. The three goals scored by the Huskies in this game is the most since Oct. 17, 2008 when UConn scored a season high three goals against DePaul.

Game 4

UConn 3, CCSU 1

Sept. 7, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

Led by freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland), the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team coasted to a hard fought 3-1 victory over Central Connecticut. Ruutu, who scored two goals on the night, has now recorded seven points in the last two games. The international connection was working in the win as sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) helped to set up both of Ruutu’s goals on the night. In just the 11th minute of play, junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) stole the ball away from a CCSU defender near the midfield and dribbled it up to the top of the box where she sent a rocket shot to the upper right corner of the goal over Central Connecticut goalie Caity Casey’s outstretched hands to give the Huskies the 1-0 lead. The goal was the first since Nov. 23, 2007 for Cunningham, who’s last goal for the Huskies was the game-winner against Stanford in the third round of the 2007 NCAA tournament. Less than four minutes later, the Huskies struck again. This time Busque sent a pass from the left side of the field that took one bounce in the box and was blasted into the top left side of the goal by Ruutu for her first goal of the game and second on the season. Busque and Ruutu would connect again before the end of the first half when in the 24th minute, Busque sent up exactly the same play that gave the Huskies the two-goal advantage. Before the end of the first half, the Blue Devils would cut into the three-goal lead when they scored a goal of their own in the 27th minute. In the first start of her college career, rookie Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) earned the first win of her college career making three saves in the process. This win for the Huskies also means something to assistant coach Margaret Rodriguez, as it is the first time as a coach that she has beaten her twin sister Jen. The two played at UConn from 1995-98.

Game 5

UConn 1, Boston University 0

Sept. 11, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

The international connection was back in action Friday when sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) and freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) connected for the fourth time this season to score the game-winner against Boston University. Sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) set up the whole play getting the ball to Ruutu who sent a cross to the center of the box where Busque tapped in the game winning goal for the second time this season. This was the first overtime game for the Huskies in 2009 and the first shutout recorded by a UConn goalie during the season. Sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) made three saves in her first career shutout. Despite some even play in the second half, the Huskies outshot BU 12-5 tallying 14 total shots in regulation to the Terriers’ eight. The Huskies came out firing in overtime and had a few opportunities to score at the beginning of the extra time period. Busque and Shufelt had strong shots to begin the period and in the 96th minute it appeared as though junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) was going to win the game for the Huskies when she drew BU’s Reilly out of the goal but her shot didn’t have enough on it and defender Laura Schwartz was there to kick the ball away and save the game. Just a minute later, Busque knocked in the game winner for the Huskies. The goal was her second of the season.

After scoring a season high four goals, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team knocked off previously undefeated and No. 8 Wake Forest 4-2 in front of 1,735 fans in the finale of the UConn Classic on Sunday. The victory, was the first regular season win over a top-10 ranked opponent since the Huskies recorded a 1-0 win on the road at No. 6 West Virginia on Oct. 20, 2006, their 16 shots on the day were the most shots Wake Forest has allowed this season, and the four goals doubled the number of goals Wake Forest had let up all year to their previous seven opponents. The four goals scored by UConn were the most since they recorded four against Fairfield in the final game of the UConn Classic on September 16, 2007. In the 16th minute the Huskies made a statement when junior Meghan Cunningham headed in her second goal of the season to give the Huskies a 1-0 lead. The Huskies extended their lead to two goals in the 31st minute when freshman Georgina Giddings recorded her first goal of the day and the season. Giddings started things off by sending a pass up to sophomore Jessica Shufelt who tapped it back to Giddings in the left side of the box who then sent it into the bottom left corner of the net. Just a minute later, it looked like the Deacs were going to get on the board as Marisa Park sent a shot that looked like it was going to sneak past UConn goalkeeper Jessica Dulski but a perfectly timed jump by Dulski saved the potential goal as she punched the ball up and over the net. Dulski ended the game with 10 saves which tied her career high set previously this season at Penn State. Before the end of the half, the Huskies tacked on yet another goal, this time as junior Erin Clark stripped the ball from Wake Forest’s Caitlin Farrell, dribbled it up the field, juked around another Wake Forest defender and beat the Demon Deacon goalie in the middle of the box with a shot to the center of the net to earn her first goal of the season. The Huskies would regain their three-goal lead as Giddings recorded her second goal of the game.

Behind the goals of senior Jessica Diakun (Glastonbury, Conn.) and junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team earned their 16th straight victory over Providence, Friday. This is the 22nd time that Huskies have shut out the Friars. Providence has not scored a goal against UConn since 2004 and has only scored six goals in the 28 matches between the two teams. The Huskies got on the board first, for the sixthstraight game, when Diakun headed in her first goal of the season in the 16th minute. Senior Brittany Taylor started the play off with a pass into the box that bounced high and was knocked in by Diakun to give the Huskies an early 1-0 lead. Before the end of the first half, UConn would add another goal to the scoreboard. This time, freshman Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) sent a cross from the left side that Clark headed into the goal to boost the Husky lead to two. This is the second-straight game that Clark has recorded a goal and the second-straight game where Giddings has tallied at least one point. The shot total was about even in the first half between the two teams, but Providence piled on the shots in the second half outshooting the Huskies 19-11. UConn only had four shots on goal during the game, scoring goals on two of them. Sophomore Jess Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) recorded seven saves in the game, making five in the second half. The shutout was her second of season and second of her career.

Game 8

UConn 1, Yale 0

Sept. 20, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

On her third game-winning goal of the year sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) helped the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team to their sixth-straight win, a 1-0 decision over Yale on Sunday. The game winner came in the 67th minute for the Huskies. Junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) sent a pass up to Busque who drilled a shot at the Yale goalkeeper Ayana Sumiyasu. Sumiyasu made the initial save but Busque gathered the rebound and tapped it in to put the Huskies on the board. UConn dominated the first half controlling the ball for the majority of the 45 minutes. The Huskies outshot Yale 21-1 in the first half but could not get anything into the goal.In the 55th minute, Busque knocked in a goal from about 1 yard out of the goal but it was taken away after a late offsides call. The sophomore forward redeemed herself in the 67th minute though, recording her third goal of the season. Clark’s assist was her first of the year. The junior has recorded a point in the last three games for the Huskies. UConn finished the game with a season high 36 shots, with 16 of them coming on goal. Sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) recorded two saves in her second shutout of the weekend.

Game 9 St. John’s 1, UConn 0 OT Sept. 24, 2009 Queens, N.Y. Despite a strong offensive effort by the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team, a golden goal by St. John’s midfielder Amanda Pasciolla in the first overtime period handed the Huskies their first BIG EAST loss of the season and ended their six-game win streak. The goal by Pasciolla was only the sixth Red Storm shot of the night and only the second shot on goal of the entire game for St. John’s. The Huskies came out firing in the first half taking two shots on goal in the first minute and a half that were saved by St. John’s goalie Kristin Russell. UConn’s shots kept coming throughout the game as sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) led the team in shots taken with six including one that clanged off the post in the 77th minute. St. John’s and UConn traded shots in the first overtime period. Just a minute after junior Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) sent a shot high over the net, Pasciolla blasted a shot of her own high over sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Dulski’s (Pittsford, N.Y.) head for the win. The Huskies dominated St. John’s in the shot column taking 17 compared to St. John’s six. The loss is the first in the month of September for UConn and the first overtime loss of the season.

Game 10

UConn 5, Syracuse 0

Sept. 27, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

Led by Jessica Shufelt, the No. 25/16 University of Connecticut women’s soccer team put together one of their best games of the season. The Huskies scored a season-high five goals in the wet conditions, with Shufelt recording a career-high two goals on the day. Linda Ruutu started things off for the Huskies recording the first goal of the game in the 27th minute of play. Erin Clark sent a pass to the right side of the box where Ruutu juked past a defender and sent a shot to the lower right corner of the goal. Nine minutes later, in the 36th minute, Shufelt put her first goal on the board to boost the Husky lead to two before the end of the first half. After two quick passes from Melissa Busque and Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England), Shufelt rounded up the ball and sent a long distance strike from 25 yards out that hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the goal. At the beginning of the second half, the Huskies earned their first penalty kick of the season. During a free kick, Busque was held by one of the Syracuse defenders in the box, drawing the foul and earning her first try at a penalty kick during her collegiate career. Busque easily sent the shot past the Syracuse goalkeeper Eliza Bennett-Hattan in the 50th minute for the Huskies third goal of the game. A quick pass from Clark drew Bennett-Hattan out of the goal. Shufelt corralled the pass and took another long shot that lasered over the head of the retreating Bennett-Hattan to give the Huskies a 4-0 lead. UConn’s fifth goal of the season came from Alex Garufi who was playing in the second game of her college career. Off of a free kick pass from Brittany Taylor near midfield, Garufi snagged the ball and tapped it in from the left side of the goal past a diving Bennett-Hattan to earn the first goal of her career.

An early first half goal by rookie Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) was all that the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team would need en route to their 1-0 victory over BIG EAST foe Villanova in front of 1,412 people at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The victory was the first for the Huskies over the Wildcats since the 2004 season. Ruutu scored the lone goal of the game for the Huskies just into the 14th minute of play. Sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) started things off for the Huskies dishing the ball out to Ruutu. Ruutu sent a pass to junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) who flicked it right back to Ruutu where the rookie found some space and sent a laser shot to the top of the net from about 15 yards out. This is the fourth time, in five chances that Busque has connected with Ruutu on a goal during the 2009 season. It is also the second straight game that Clark and Ruutu have connected. With the goal, Ruutu becomes the team’s leading scorer in 2009 tallying her fifth goal of the season. Sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) made five outstanding saves on the game to record her fourth shutout of the season.

UConn 2, Georgetown 1

Oct. 4, 2009

Storrs, Conn.

A gamewinning goal by University of Connecticut sophomore Melissa Busque in the 77th minute gave the Huskies the 2-1 lead and the victory over Georgetown Sunday. The goal was Busque’s fourth gamewinner this season. UConn had a few opportunities early into the first half but it wasn’t until the 38th minute that they were able to get on the board. Linda Ruutu put the Huskies on the board with some help from Elise Fugowski and Jessica Shufelt. The goal was the sixth of the season for the Husky rookie and put the Huskies up by one before the half. UConn and Georgetown were evenly matched throughout the game. The Hoyas outshot the Huskies 18-16 thanks to seven unanswered shots in the final 11 minutes of play. This is the first time the Huskies have been outshot since September 18 when Providence outshot them 19-11. After halftime, there was a multitude of chances for the Huskies to lengthen their lead but in the 76th minute, Georgetown tied the game up at one-all when Sara Jordan sent a laser shot that went right through the hands of Jessica Dulski. The Huskies fired back a little more than a minute later in the 77th minute when Busque chipped the ball over the hands of the Georgetown goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin with some help from Brittany Taylor. Taylor stole the ball away from Georgetown and streaked up the field dishing the ball out to Busque who corralled it and got it past DesJardin to retake the lead from Georgetown. Dulski finished the game with six saves, allowing just the one goal over the course of the weekend.

Freshman Danielle Dakin (Wilbraham, Mass.) started things off for the Huskies with a goal in the 15th minute of play. The defender took an unassisted shot from 35 yards out to the far left post giving the Huskies a one goal lead just minutes into the game. A little more than five minutes later in the 20th minute, sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) boosted the Huskies lead to two with some assistance from freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland). It was the sixth time the two players have connected on a goal this season. The Huskies carried the two goal lead for the next twenty minutes, but before the end of the first half, Marquette erased the lead. The Golden Eagles put their first goal of the game on the board in the 41st minute as Stephanie Vasos headed the ball in the goal on a cross from Lauren Thut. Anna Sawicki scored Marquette’s second goal of the game just over a minute later knocking in a shot from five yards out in a scrum of UConn players.

Game 16

UConn 2, DePaul 1

44 All-American Selections

Oct. 18, 2009

Chicago, Ill.

An insurance goal by junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) off of a penalty kick in the 81st minute turned out to be the game-winner as the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team downed DePaul 2-1 to earn their 10th victory of the season and fifth BIG EAST win of the year. The Huskies were a mere 24 seconds away from earning their sixth shutout of the season before DePaul’s Tara Strickland got one on the board for the Blue Demons just before the end of regulation. In a slow offensive game, neither team was able to score in the first half, but freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) got the Huskies on the board first for the 13th time this season when she recorded a strike from 22 yards out. The goal was the eighth of the season for the rookie who leads the team in goals and points recorded. After a foul in the box by DePaul, Cunningham capitalized on her penalty kick opportunity to give the Huskies a two-goal advantage. UConn is a perfect two-for-two on the season in penalty kick chances. What looked like an insurance goal turned out to be the game winner as Strickland notched DePaul’s first goal of the game, on their first shot on goal of the game. But the Huskies held on for the remaining 24 seconds to earn the victory. This is the 29th time in the 31 year history of the UConn women’s soccer program that the Huskies have earned at least 10 victories in a season.

For the third-straight game between the two teams, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team and West Virginia battled to an exciting, double overtime tie. The two teams ended in a scoreless tie, Friday, in front of the 1,722 people, the second largest crowd at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium this season. With the Huskies’ tie and the Pittsburgh loss, UConn clinched their spot in the BIG EAST tournament for the 17th straight season. At the end of the first, the Huskies were ahead of West Virginia in shots taken leading 8-6. In the second period, something clicked for the Mountaineers and they came out firing recording the first 11 shots of the period before the Huskies were able to take their first shot of the second half in the 73rd minute. Once the Huskies began shooting, they couldn’t be stopped. First Lauren Ebert spun around firing at the goal with a shot that went just left. Next, Linda Ruutu fired a shot from about 30-yards out that was punched out by the WVU goalie Butler. Busque then sent a pass way upfield to Elise Fugowski who was quickly defended by three Mountaineers but dished the ball back to Busque who sent a laser shot just high of the goal. Erin Clark had a shot in the final minute of play that was saved by Butler and a last second attempt by Brianna Gray was just saved sending the game into overtime. In the first overtime, Jessica Dulski was drawn out of the goal a couple of times leaving a wide open net for the Mountaineers but Caroline Szwed and Megan Mischler sent their shots way high of the goal.In the second overtime period, Kacey Richards had a chance to score after a corner kick but her shot went just left of the goal. Finally, after drawing Butler out of the goal, Fugowski had another shot to score with about ten seconds left to play in the game but out of nowhere Butler dove and saved the would be game winner to seal the 0-0 tie. Dulski earned her fifth shutout of the season and her career making five saves in the game.

In their final game of the regular season, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team fell 1-0 in the first overtime period to Pittsburgh in front of 1,058 people at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. With the loss, the Huskies finished the year fifth in the American Division with 16 points and will face off at Villanova in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament on Thursday, October 29 at 2 p.m. Katie Caslin recorded the gamewinner for Pittsburgh in the 94th minute of play. After the Huskies started the overtime period off strong, Pittsburgh stole the ball back and dribbled up the field. Ashley Cuba, Pittsburgh’s leading scorer, dished off a pass to Liz Carroll who then flicked a pass to Caslin in the middle of the box. Caslin reeled up and fired blasting a shot to the upper left corner of the goal. Both teams had opportunities throughout the game to score but neither could capitalize on them in regulation. The Huskies took 22 shots on the day and 12 on goal, but the Pittsburgh goalkeeper Morie Kephart recorded 12 saves on the day to shut out the Huskies. Sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) recorded five saves on the day for the Huskies but was unable to get a hand on the laser shot by Caslin.

Villanova 1, UConn 1 (4-1 PK)

Oct. 29, 2009

Villanova, Pa.

After 110 minutes of action, the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament was decided by a 4-1 penalty kick decision in favor of Villanova as the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team fell for the first time in program history in the first round. The Huskies had a slew of chances throughout the game to score and controlled the ball for the majority of the game but just couldn’t net the game winner in the first 110 minutes.Following a flurry in front of the Villanova net, the Huskies put pressure on the Wildcat defense and in turn made them record an own goal to tie the game up at one-apiece with 13:26 remaining in the game. This is the first time this season that the Huskies have recorded a goal via the own goal and couldn’t have come at a better time for UConn.After having one of the best games in her career, sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) came out of the game with 36.3 seconds remaining in regulation as freshman Ally Mancino came into the game in relief of Dulski who finished the day with five game-changing saves. The Huskies forced the overtime period with Villanova and finished the first 90 minutes of play outshooting the Wildcats 15-14 and taking four corner kicks to Villanova’s one. Villanova was the first team to get on the board just 26 seconds in to the game when the Wildcats’ leading scorer, Katie Ryan, flicked a shot past a diving Dulski which gave Nova a very early 1-0 lead.

Game 20

UConn 1, Boston University 0 2OT Nov. 13, 2009

Boston, Mass.

With a sense of urgency in her, Brittany Taylor took the ball and dribbled up the field firing a laser of a shot at the BU goal to record her first goal of the season and first goal since September 21, 2007. The captain not only helped her team to the second round of the NCAA Tournament but helped to win the 500th game in the 31-year history of UConn women’s soccer. This is the second time that UConn has defeated Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and now holds a 2-1 record against the Terriers. UConn now holds a 14-5-1 career record in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie in the first half but both squads had some good chances on goal. UConn’s best chance in the first half came in the 41st minute of play when Taylor came streaking up the field to take a shot that looked like it went past the goal line to give the Huskies the lead. But before the entire ball could cross the plane, the BU goalkeeper Janie Reilly stopped it to keep the game knotted at one entering the second half. Sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) had her chance in the second half. Taylor dished out a pass to Busque and after a slight miscue; the forward turned and fired a shot on goal that was stopped by Reilly. BU responded with some pressure of their own, but were unable to get the ball near the goal thanks to the strong Husky defense. UConn brought the offense in the second overtime period after neither team was able to score in the first. After a passback by junior Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.), Taylor took the ball and streaked down the field firing a shot that no one could have stopped. Richards’ assist was the first of the season for the All-BIG EAST Third Team honoree. This is also the fourth straight overtime game for the Huskies. UConn registered a 0-1-2 record in their three previous games earning ties against West Virginia and Villanova. In just her second start of the season, Mancino finished the game with a career-high five saves for the Huskies.

Crutchfield was about six yards out in the box and sent the ball to the lower left corner of the goal for the 1-0 lead. The Huskies were unable to get a shot off in the first half of play as BC had the 9-0 advantage. UConn had their first chance at a goal in the 54th minute of play. Freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) set up a beautiful cross from the right side that curved to the middle of the box where three Huskies were waiting.

The Eagles added to their lead in the 68th minute. Mancino came out to scoop up the ball when BC’s leading scorer Victoria DiMartino took a shot on goal that Mancino blocked. The ball was deflected back out into play and with Mancino at the edge of the box, she did not have enough time to retreat as Victoria’s sister Gina DiMartino blooped a shot over everyone’s head and into the open net for the second BC goal of the game.UConn was limited to just four shots on the day, a season low, while BC took 16.

Celebrating 30 Years of UConn Women’s Soccer During the weekend of September 12-14, 2008, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team celebrated its 30th anniversary as a varsity program. The celebration took place during the weekend of the 17th annual UConn Classic featuring three top-25 programs in the country as No. 1 UCLA, No. 11 Penn State, No.25 and Brown all competed. The weekend kicked off at the UConn vs. Virginia football game at Rentschler Field on Saturday, September 13. Prior to the game, over 80 alumnae and their families gathered at a pre-game tailgate to reunite with past teammates and to meet the 2008 team and current UConn staff and administrators. During halftime of the football game, all former UConn women soccer players in attendance were honored in front of a crowd of 40,000. Head Coach Len Tsantiris, a 1977 UConn graduate and coach of the Huskies for the past 28 years, was recognized with a 30th Anniversary poster that included pictures of every team in the history of the program. Also during the halftime ceremony, four standout former players were honored for their significant contributions to the program. Sara Whalen, Felice Duffy and Moira and Tara Buckley each received a commemorative bowl to honor their excellence in a Husky uniform. The weekend celebration continued on Sunday, September 14 as UConn hosted a brunch at the Nathan Hale Inn. The brunch included memorable speeches from Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, Head Coach Len Tsantiris and three former Huskies. Melissa Morrone Taintor, Jill Gelfenbien Laufer and Meghan Schnur each recounted stories from their days as a Husky. The weekend culminated at the UConn vs. Penn State soccer game, with recognition of all alumni in attendance during halftime of the game. Overall, the weekend celebration was an amazing tribute to the women’s soccer program and was enjoyed by all.

UConn Retires Two Numbers In the 30-year history of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tara Buckley (right) was the first women’s soccer player to have her number retired. Tara Buckley’s number 5 jersey was retired after her stellar four-year career at UConn ended in 1983. Buckley, who played with sister Moira, has the distinction of being the only UConn women’s soccer fourtime All-America selection. Sara Whalen (left) is the only other Husky to have her jersey retired.

Sara Whalen

• 1997 HONDA AWARD WINNER • 1997 NSCAA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR In 1997, University of Connecticut three-time women’s soccer All-American Sara Whalen was named the Women’s Soccer National Player of the Year by the Honda Awards Program and was selected as the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association National Player of the Year. Whalen was one of 11 finalists for the Honda Cup Broderick Trophy awarded to the female collegiate Athlete of the Year. Whalen led the 1997 UConn women’s soccer team to a single-season school record 23 wins and a spot in the NCAA Division I National Championship game. Connecticut concluded the 1997 season with an overall record of 23-4. The National Player of the Year honor for Whalen, as awarded by Honda, marked the first time a UConn women’s soccer star had received the award. Whalen, who hails from Greenlawn, N.Y., led Connecticut with 64 points (21 goals, 22 assists) on the year, second best in the nation. Her 22 assists also ranked second in the country for that category. Early in the 1997 season, Whalen made the transition from her more traditional post in the UConn defense (where she was selected a two-time First-Team All-American at back) to a new post in the UConn offense as a forward. The move paid dividends for Connecticut as Whalen had both goals in UConn’s 2-1 National Semifinal upset win over previously unbeaten Notre Dame, advancing UConn to the National Championship game. Connecticut fell to North Carolina 2-0 in the NCAA Championship game. In 1997, Whalen was tabbed First Team All-American as a forward, marking the third consecutive season she was a First-Team All-America selection. Among her accomplishments in 1997, Whalen was named Soccer America Magazine’s National Player of the Year, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance Female Athlete of the Year, a First-Team All-BIG EAST Selection, a First Team All-New England selection, Missouri Athletic Club National Player of the Year finalist, Hermann Award National Player of the Year finalist, Soccer Digest Magazine’s “Best collegiate soccer player in America” and USA Today’s “Most Versatile Player”. 2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER

The Huskies and the U.S. National Team Throughout the years, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer program has established itself as one of the premier programs in the country. In addition to the postseason appearances and perennial player accolades, several Huskies throughout the years have participated on the highest level of women’s soccer competition with the U.S. National Teams. These players have traveled internationally and across the United States where they have exhibited their skills and talents. Sara Whalen, a 1997 UConn graduate, helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to take home the 1999 World Cup Championship title and the Silver Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Former Husky three-time All-American forward Mary-Frances Monroe has also made several national team appearances. Most recently, midfielder Meghan Schnur played with the U-19 US Team that competed in the FIFA World Championship in 2004. Additionally, Kristen Graczyk was called in three times in 2005 to participate in the Under-21 National Team camp. During the summer of 2009, Brittany Taylor was called up to play for the National Team, while Elizabeth Eng participated on the youth National Squad.

FOREIGN TOURS UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 27 NCAA Appearances

8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles

2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles

Foreign Tours In August of 1992, Len Tsantiris added a new dimension to Connecticut women’s soccer by bringing the team on an international tour of Denmark. Since 1992, the program has had the privilege of traveling to different parts of the world three additional times. The NCAA rule limits a foreign tour to once every four years, which allows Coach Tsantiris to bring each class once. He believes that it is an integral part of the education that his players receive during their four years at UConn: “Not only can we prepare for the regular season and play against some of the best women’s teams in the world, but our players have the opportunity to learn about different cultures, see how the game is appreciated in other countries, and experience parts of the world that they may never see again.” The foreign tour typically commences two days into preseason and lasts between 10 and 14 days. Players report to UConn in early August, complete compliance certification and fitness testing before the trip and then return to campus several days before classes begin. The following is a summary of the past four trips that Coach Tsantiris and his teams have taken.

1992: DENMARK In 1992, Coach Tsantiris made history and ventured into his first international tour. The team played a challenging sixgame schedule against top Division I and II clubs which included national team players from Denmark, Australia and Finland. The team finished the trip 3-1-2. Coach Tsantiris was very pleased with the outcome of the trip, “I was excited to expose the team to international soccer,” said Tsantiris. “We chose Denmark because the women’s club leagues there play some of the best women’s soccer in the world. They play a thinking kind of game.”

1996: DENMARK AND NORWAY The success and benefits of the program’s first trip to Denmark encouraged Coach Tsantiris and his team to return to the Scandinavian countries four years later. Accompanied by many friends and family of the women’s soccer team, the Huskies began their Scandinavian tour in Copenhagen, Denmark. Highlights of the trip included attendance at a professional game, a scenic ferry ride from Denmark to Norway that included sights of the Oslo Fjord, and sightseeing in Copenhagen and Oslo. On the field, the Huskies improved on their international record from 1992 and came away from the trip with a 4-1 record. The Huskies beat Vejle (4-1), the No. 2 ranked women’s soccer professional club team in Denmark’s first division, along with Mejrup (2-1) and FFI (3-1). The team’s only loss came to a very experienced and talented Fortuna squad, the #1 ranked club team in Europe at the time. Though the Huskies lost this game, they quickly identified areas that needed improvement for the regular season by gaining tremendous experience. Consequently, UConn challenged for a national championship the following year. In addition, a relationship between UConn and Fortuna extended into a return trip from Fortuna to Morrone Stadium on the UConn campus for an exhibition game on September 10, 1998.

2000: GREECE AND ITALY In 2000, Coach Tsantiris decided that it was time to take the team to his homeland. He is originally from a small island in Greece, but the team did not visit his island. They spent time in Athens, Leptokaria Pieria and Thessaloniki. During a two week tour of Greece and Italy, the Huskies played eight games, winning all eight and were crowned champions of the 3rd AEGEAN Olympus Cup. Coach Tsantiris valued the opportunity to go overseas and reflected on the importance of the trip shortly before leaving, “We are going to Greece and Italy to play games. We will play four in each country in order to gain competitive game experience that you can’t get from practicing. It will be very valuable. This experience will help us next year and the year after and will benefit all of our classes.” Sightseeing on this trip included Mt. Olympus, the ancient site of Dion, the ancient castle of Platamon, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. After 7 days in Greece, the team traveled to Italy and spent time in Udine, Venice and Rome. With excellent food and amazing sites, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the team as they developed a more possession style of play and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinal, losing to the eventual National Champions. As coach Tsantiris foresaw, three years later the team played in the national championship game.

2004: BRAZIL The men’s Brazilian national team has seen dominance with the likes of Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and the women’s national team has emerged over the past seven years as a World Cup and Olympic contender. On the field, the Brazilians display technical superiority, creativity and a confidence in their abilities to which most players aspire. Believing that his players would learn from and pick up some of Brazil’s savvy play, Coach Tsantiris decided that a trip to South America would be a new and exciting opportunity for the program. A 12-day tour of Rio de Janeiro, Buzios and Teresopolis proved to be an amazing experience for the group. “Everyday we were doing something. A lot of good things came out of it and it was a very educational experience for everyone. The kids were able to experience a different culture and create camaraderie with one another. And at the same time, we were in the richest soccer country in the world. It gave us an opportunity to play against a totally different level of competition” said Tsantiris. The highlights of the trip included attendance at two professional games at Maracana Stadium, including a game in which former World Cup Champion Romario played. The team visited the Brazilian Soccer Hall of Fame within the Maracana, played beach soccer games against local players, visited the Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer tourist spots and practiced and played at the Brazilian National Training Center in Teresopolis.

THE

LONG ISLAND CONNECTION

In his 29-year history with Connecticut women’s soccer, Len Tsantiris has had 16 natives of New York’s Long Island play for the Huskies. Not only have these 16 competed as members of the team, they have each had a major impact on the program. Twelve have earned postseason honors and six of the Long Island products have been named All-Americans. All-Americans hailing from Long Island include three-time All-American Sara Whalen and Mary-Frances Monroe, former assistant coach and 1991, 1992, and 1993 All-American Karen Ferguson, 1991 All-American Cathy Cambria, 1988 and 1990 All-American Beth Grecco, and 1987, 1988, and 1989 All-American Kim Prutting. The Huskies had their seventh different Long Island athlete named All-American in 2007 when Brittany Taylor earned the honor. The Long Island tradition continued in 2008 with the addition of Michelle Reynolds and Heather Kasper and again in 2010 when Devin Prendergast joined the Huskies.

John Miceli CPIA Phone: (860) 486-6482 Fax: (860) 486-3441 John.Miceli@UConn.edu The University of Connecticut’s Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) was established in 1986 to provide comprehensive support to all UConn student-athletes. CPIA’s staff includes nine full time counselors, a learning specialist, three graduate assistants and an extensive complement of tutors. The program boasts a large computerized writing lab with electronic access to the reference tools of the Homer Babbidge Library. Individual tutors in all subjects are readily available to student-athletes upon their request. A CPIA counselor is assigned to each intercollegiate team. He or she monitors student-athlete academic performance; provides academic, career, and personal counseling while also making appropriate referrals to other University support programs including Career Services, Study Abroad, and discipline-specific advising; facilitates, in consort with faculty and staff advisors, registration in courses that accommodate practice times while optimizing progress toward a degree; coordinates tutor requests and assignment; assists in the development of learning and time management skills; and ensures individual student-athlete compliance with NCAA satisfactory academic progress rules. The UConn women’s soccer coaches and team members take great pride in the team’s academic, service, and leadership accomplishments. The team completed an academic Triple Crown of sorts in 2009-2010. First, they were recognized for academic excellence by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Second, they were recognized during the spring 2010 semester by the University as UConn’s top academic team, boasting a 3.26 spring 2009-fall 2009 cumulative team grade point average (the team has gone on to post a remarkable 3.44 team GPA for the spring 2010 semester). And third, the team was recognized by the NCAA in its Public Recognition Program as being in the top 10% among women’s soccer teams nationally with respect to Academic Progress Rate (APR). Indeed, fifteen members of the team achieved the Dean’s List in their school or college last year, the highest number of Dean’s List achievers for the team since its academic heyday in the mid-1990’s. Leading the team this past year with perfect 4.0 spring semester GPA’s were seniors Annie Yi and Lauren Ebert. Brittany Taylor, Corey Bildstein and Jessica Shufelt followed closely in the spring semester with near perfect 3.93, 3.93 and 3.88 GPAs, respectively. Joining these five students in averaging at or above 3.5 over the full academic year were Melissa Busgue, Danielle Dakin, Becky Gundling, Karen Gurnon, Sam Kelley, Hillary Lackman, Kacey Richards, Linda Ruutu, and Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland. Annie Yi received the team’s individual Scholar-Athlete Award, recognizing sustained academic excellence, at the team’s annual banquet. She was accepted into UConn’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program last spring and completed her initial coursework in the program this summer with perfect grades. UConn women’s soccer members have a long tradition of garnering academic, leadership, service, and holistic honors within and outside the athletics realm. Shannon Algoe, Karen Gurnon, and Annie Yi were named New England Scholars for having achieved consecutive 3.7 or better semesters in the 2009 calendar year.

Meanwhile, 2007 women’s soccer graduate Courtney Sands made the Law Review last year at New England School of Law. Also In recent years UConn’s Neag School has honored Brittany Tegeler, Kathleen Frank, Lani Fortier, and Kristen Gracyk as the top student in their Kinesiology Department’s academic field. Notably, UConn’s Kinesiology program is ranked #1 ranked in the nation. Further, UConn women’s soccer players have captured 11 of the 19 Kinsman Awards since that prestigious award was established. The Kinsman Award is CPIA’s highest award, presented annually to one female and one male from among all seniors in UConn’s 24 varsity sports. The award recognizes academic and athletic achievement and improvement, leadership, service, perseverance and character. UConn women’s soccer players- including current Women’s Professional Soccer’s Meghan Schnur and Kristen Graczyk- have also captured 5 of the last 9 female UConn Big East Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards (given to only one UConn female student-athlete each year). Since the spring 2003 semester, women’s soccer teammates have supported each other academically through a “learning group” program, first proposed by former goalkeeper Maria Yatrakis and initiated by Coach Tsantiris and team counselor John Miceli. These groups have proven tremendously effective in facilitating academic achievement motivation and team unity, and enhancing team GPA. In fact, the learning group program has been so successful that it is now emulated by the men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams and the women’s cross-country and track & field teams. Annie Yi, Samantha Kelly, Cory Bildstein, Courtney MaitlandWilkinson, and Karen Gurnon will lead the team’s learning groups this fall.

He is a nationally certified sports counselor and Connecticut licensed professional counselor. In 1999, he was the first recipient of the Vivienne Dean Litt Award, presented by UConn’s University Program for the Learning Disabled (UPLD) and recognizing John’s advocacy for and empowerment of learning disabled students. He also served for many years on the Executive Board of the Connecticut College and University Counselors Association (CCUCA) and chaired both the CCUCA Professional Development Committee and the Connecticut Counseling Association’s (CCA) Mentoring Committee. CCA awarded Miceli its Professional Development Award in 2007 for his role in conceiving, coordinating, and presenting at strongly attended professional development workshops that drew counselors from three states and also formally recognized his work in 2009 for establishing and nurturing the development of the CCA Mentoring Program. Since 1987, John has served as academic counselor for 13 of the 24 UConn teams and now works exclusively with five teams. Before assuming a full time position with CPIA, Miceli coached six individual UConn school record holders in the sprint and hurdle events as an assistant track coach.

Huskies in the Community Balancing athletics with academics is undoubtedly one of the most time consuming and challenging experiences a studentathlete will ever encounter. Despite the rigorous demands associated with learning in the classroom and competing at the Division I level, the UConn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team always finds time to give back to the community.

In the past, many members of the team traveled to Mansfield Middle School to spend time in classrooms teaching children life lessons that are necessary to be successful both on and off the field. The student-athletes stressed the importance of teamwork and cooperation in the classroom, on the soccer field and in everyday life.

He has played a vital role in the success story of UConn athletics for 19 of the past 21 years as he was the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at the school from 19902001.In his only two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a successful tenure as the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University from 2001-03. His first seven years as UConn’s Director of Athletics have arguably been the most successful in school history. The 2009-10 academic year was another successful campaign. The football team played in its third-straight bowl game and won its second consecutive while the women’s basketball team won the national championship with a perfect record for the secondstraight year. In addition, the men’s soccer, women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s basketball and baseball teams all qualified for postseason tournament play. UConn was also selected as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA baseball tournament. The women’s ice hockey team also spent most of the year ranked in the top 10 of the country. Hathaway also directed UConn to reach an agreement with IMG College, a division of IMG Worldwide, during the 2009-10 academic year. This 10-year athletics multi-media rights partnership is worth more than $80 million in guaranteed payments to the University. In 2007-08, UConn successfully completed the NCAA certification process. The institution was previously certified, once every 10 years as set forth by the NCAA, in 1998. Hathaway provided leadership for a comprehensive, year-long self study of the operations in the Division of Athletics, a site visit by a peer review team, a NCAA certification 108

committee’s review of the self-study and a report by the peer review team. The Division also reached new long-term agreements with two of its media partners in recent years – Connecticut Public Television for women’s basketball and WTIC radio for football and men’s and women’s basketball. UConn also completed a landmark ten-year, $46 million corporate partnership agreement with Nike, Inc. to exclusively provide footwear, apparel and equipment for Husky athletics. In addition to his leadership role at UConn, Hathaway is entering his fourthyear of a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee representing the BIG EAST Conference. As a member of the ten-person committee, Hathaway takes part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS television contract. Hathaway will serve as chairman of that committee in 2011-12. He is only the fourth individual in the history of the BIG EAST Conference to serve on the committee, joining Dave Gavitt, Jake Crouthamel and Mike Tranghese. Hathaway is a member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Some significantly historic achievements have occurred during Hathaway’s time as Director of Athletics. UConn became the first school to win the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball championships in the same year (2004) and the football team was victorious in its first ever bowl game - the 2004 Motor City Bowl. Private fundraising for UConn athletics continues to provide exceptional academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. UConn secured a gift of $2.5 million from alumnus Mark Shenkman in 2004 for the building of the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, an intercollegiate and recreational services facility that serves the entire university community. Under Hathaway’s guidance, the Division of Athletics received the University’s Environmental Leadership Award for the construction of The Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The two buildings are the University’s first projects certified as meeting

the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. At its 13th annual awards ceremony in March of 2008, the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange presented UConn with the “Green Building Award” for these environmentallyfriendly facilities. In his role as Director, Hathaway also oversees UConn’s Recreational Services program. Serving the entire University community, approximately 580,000 individual uses were logged last year, reflecting the popularity of the diverse health and fitness offerings to students, faculty and staff. Hathaway leads a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. UConn has 13 head coaches that have been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year, including women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma (26th year in 2010-11), men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun (25th) and football coach Randy Edsall (12th). The University recently completed a long term contract extension with Calhoun. UConn has the distinction of being the only school in the nation with two active Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coaches in Calhoun (Class of 2005 inductee) and Auriemma (Class of 2006 inductee). Hathaway was also a key factor in the opening of Rentschler Field in 2003 – the country’s newest and most modern BCS college football facility. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the student-athlete the top priority. In the spring and fall semesters of the 2009 calendar year, UConn’s student-athletes excelled in the classroom as nearly 50% of the 650 student-athletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average. In addition, the Division of Athletics has consistently maintained a 99 percent retention rate among its student-athletes. “My focus is on the student-athlete,” says Hathaway. “That’s the most important part of our program. Our primary mission is the continued academic success of our student-athletes. The challenge is to identify people early in the process and assist them in charting a career path. In addition, we want to provide a quality experience in intercollegiate athletics for our student-athletes.” Hathaway earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Administration from the University of Maryland in 1981. He later received a Master’s Degree in General Administration (1991) from the University of Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in Educational Leadership from the University of Connecticut. He attended The Sports Management Institute at the Universities of Notre Dame and Southern California. Hathaway also completed the Management Development Program at Harvard University. Born June 20, 1959, in Cheverly, Md., Hathaway and his wife Paula have two children: Meghan (October 15, 1991) and Michael (June 11, 1995).
