On the field, the Boston University women’s soccer has exerted its complete dominance over its America East opponents, outscoring them by a 32-0 margin and posting a perfect 8-0-0 conference record.
Off the pitch, it’s even more of the same for the Terriers (14-5-0, 8-0-0 AE) as they swept all six of AE’s major annual awards, the conference announced Wednesday.
Junior Jessica Luscinski was named Striker of the Year. Junior Shauna Kelleher earned Midfielder of the Year honors. Senior tri-captain Corie Halasz won BU’s fourth straight Defender of the Year award. In net, junior goalkeeper Alice Binns picked up Goalkeeper of the Year and freshman goalie Kelly King was given the Rookie of the Year accolade.
BU coach Nancy Feldman and her coaching staff &- assistant coaches Liz Driscoll and Jessica Clinton &- were selected as the conference Coaching Staff of the Year.
In addition, 11 Terriers were named to the All-Conference squads. Luscinski and Kelleher were repeat selections to the All-AE First-Team. Halasz made the First-Team for the first time since her freshman campaign, and fellow tri-captainLina Cords returned to the First-Team after making it in 2008. Graduate student forward Lisa Kevorkian and Binns were named to their first First-Teams.
Junior forward Tiya Gallegos was the sole Terrier on the All-AE Second-Team. King and freshman midfielders Emma Clark and Kylie Strong made the All-Rookie Team.
