<strong>1. Marie-Philip Poulin, Freshman, W. Hockey</strong>

Has there ever been a more exciting recruit to come to Comm. Ave. than Poulin? Consider this: she scored both goals in Canada's 2-0 win over the United States in the gold-medal game of the Vancouver Winter Olympics last February as an 18-year-old. That's not as a member of the U-18 or U-20 teams either; that's as a full-fledged member of the Canadian national team. She's been deemed the "Sidney Crosby of women's hockey," a nickname that seemed all too fitting after Crosby scored the game-winner for the men's team in the same Olympics. Crosby went straight to fame at the NHL level when he was Poulin's age. Without a legitimate women's professional league, Poulin will have to settle for bringing her talents to Walter Brown Arena. Lucky BU.

<strong>2. April Setterlund, Senior, Softball</strong>

In an April 28th Daily Free Press article, BU coach Shawn Rychcik said, "April will be the best player ever to play here." Her Babe Ruthian numbers from last year certainly back that statement up: a .482 batting average, .579 on-base percentage and .861 slugging percentage to go with 12 home runs and 52 RBIs. To top off her spectacular junior year, Setterlund earned Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I All-America First Team honors, making her BU's second-ever All-American. What else is there for her to achieve during her senior season?

<strong>3. John Holland, Senior, M. Basketball</strong>

The 2009-10 America East regular-season scoring champion &amp;- and first in program history &amp;- earned his second consecutive All-AE First-Team selection last year after averaging 19.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Currently fifth on BU's all-time scoring list with 1,558 career points, Holland needs 751 more to claim the top spot. His superb athleticism and explosiveness in transition make him a nightmare for opposing teams, not to mention a leading candidate for AE Player of the Year.

<strong>4. Charlie Coyle, Freshman, M. Hockey</strong>

Prior to being selected 28th overall in June's NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks, Coyle scored 21 goals and dished out 42 assists for the South Shore Kings of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. This fall, the highly touted freshman will get his first taste of collegiate hockey when he laces up for the Terriers. The expectations are high for Coyle, and being a first-round pick and the cousin of former BU legend Tony Amonte only adds to the pressure.

<strong>5. Michael Bustamante, Junior, M. Soccer</strong>

He may not be Brazil's Kak&#225;, but as BU's central midfielder and owner of the No. 10 jersey, Bustamante stirs the drink for the Terrier offense. His crisp, timely passes &amp;- he notched a team-high 10 assists last season &amp;- and mesmerizing foot skills have made him a household name in the AE. Opponents should think twice when committing fouls outside the goalie box, too, because Bustamante has the ability to convert free kicks into goals.

<strong>6. Chantell Alford, Sophomore, W. Basketball</strong>

Alford's freshman year accolades included a unanimous choice for AE Rookie of the Year, a spot on the AE All-Rookie Team &amp;- along with teammate Caitlynn Moran &amp;- and All-AE First-Team honors after posting season averages of 14.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. It was a sensational start to the 5-foot-10 guard's collegiate career, but is the infamous sophomore slump looming on the horizon?

<strong>7. David Warsofsky, Junior, M. Hockey</strong>

Warsofsky tallied 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) as a sophomore. He was an integral part of BU's 2008-09 championship squad, won a gold medal with the United States team at the World Junior Championship in January, netted a goal at Frozen Fenway and was named assistant captain of the Terriers for the upcoming season. This past summer, the St. Louis Blues traded his rights to the Boston Bruins.

<strong>8. Jessica Luscinski, Junior, W. Soccer</strong>

The right midfielder had a breakout season of sorts in 2009. She collected six goals and a team-best eight assists for a total of 20 points (tied for the team lead). She started 21 of 22 games, despite cracking the starting lineup just five times as a freshman. With a roster lacking experience following the graduation of eight seniors, BU coach Nancy Feldman will rely heavily on the right foot of Luscinski.

<strong>9. Corcoran Downey, Senior, Lacrosse</strong>

Downey's 2010 season solidified her status as one of the country's elite defenders. In May, she was named to the Northeast All-Region First-Team after a campaign in which she netted four goals, caused 27 turnovers and grabbed 35 ground balls. Her unanimous selection to the All-AE First-Team was icing on the cake for an impressive junior year. Her play in 2009 (three goals, four assists, 29 ground balls) helped her earn All-AE Second-Team honors as a sophomore midfielder.

<strong>10. Jacinda McLeod, Sophomore, Field Hockey</strong>

McLeod was born to play field hockey. Her family pedigree? Her father, Grant, was one of the top players on the New Zealand national team in the 1980s, while her uncle, Neil, played for the New Zealand squad that won the gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics. In her first collegiate season, McLeod earned AE Rookie of the Year honors along with spots on the AE All-Rookie, All-AE First-Team and AE All-Championship squads.
