Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of just under 4,500 and a natural grass playing surface, is one of the fi nest college soccer facilities in the nation. The natural grass playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards, the maximum dimensions for a collegiate soccer fi eld. 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 Stadium’s last feature added was a full fi eld 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 signifi cant contributions that Joe Morrone has made to the growth of soccer on all levels, but more specifi cally at the University of Connecticut. Coach Morrone retired as head coach of men’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.

“Playing soccer at UConn was one of the best deci- sions that I ever made in “There are several different reasons why I chose UConn. I love the my life. I knew going in how school itself, the size of it, how the campus is set up and, of course, competitive it would be and the academic and soccer aspects - the coaches, the players, the what an honor it would be. facilities, everything! When I made my recruiting trip, I stayed with What I didn’t know back four older players in the apartments, saw the team play two games then was that I was making and practice and saw the men’s team play.

I had a feeling that - Jill Laufer (Gelfenbien) this was going to be the right place for me. After the recruiting trip (1991-1994) was over and I left for home, as soon as we got in the car, I told my JILL GELFENBIEN parents that this is where I was going. I canceled my other recruiting trips and I chose UConn.” - Brittany Taylor, (2005-2009)

2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER 19 UNIVERSITY2010 SEASON PREVIEW OF CONNECTICUT 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 uni- fi ed, confi dent and focused team laden with experience and skill. UConn will welcome a crop of excellent newcomers highlighted Elise Fugowski by midfi elders 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 - two- time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and the sixth over- all 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, fuel- ing 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 fi fth-place fi nish 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 fi nished 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 of- fensive prowess of a year ago. The strikers were led in 2009 by current junior Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec). Busque fi nished 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 fi ve 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.) fi nished 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 fi ve 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 pres- sure 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 scor- ing 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 fi repower 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 tal- ented players in a loaded midfi eld. 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 midfi eld throughout the season. Ruutu immediately established herself as a force in the BIG EAST. She fi nished 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 midfi elder. She fi nished the year with six points on two goals and two assists. After back-to-back seasons

20 2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT2010 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 fi nal season as a Husky. Gundling started 20 of 21 games this past season as the team’s primary holding midfi elder. She was named to the NEWISA All-New England Second Team as a junior. Cunningham fi nished 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 fi nal season of collegiate action. She fi nished 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 midfi elder. Giddings has solid technical ability and is an excellent striker of the ball. She fi nished 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. Prender- gast is the reigning Long Island Player of the Year and was named All-State in her sophomore and senior seasons. Pren- dergast 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 midfi elder 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 fi eld 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 midfi eld 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 fi ll the gap left by Taylor and Ebert will start with redshirt-junior Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland (Can- diac, 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 fi ve shutouts based on a 1.11 goals against average and a .810 save percentage. Follow- ing her injury, current sophomore Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) stepped into a starting role for the NCAA First and Second Rounds. Mancino fi nished 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 be- tween 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 promis- ing for the Connecticut Huskies. Kacey Richards

UConn fi nished the year with a respectable, yet unsatisfying, record of 11-8-2. The Huskies were nearly unbeatable at home in 2009, fi nishing the year with a 9-1-1 record and falling just once at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in a 1-0 overtime defeat against Pitts- burgh. 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 fi nished the year 2-6-1 on the road and 0-1 at neutral sites. The Huskies were ousted in the fi rst 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 quarterfi nalists Boston College, 2-0. The 2009 season saw the end of a terrifi c career for se- nior defender Brittany Taylor (’10). Taylor suffered a season-end- ing injury in 2008 and came back in 2009 to earn NSCAA Third- Team 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 Eng- and 20 points.

Connecticut also saw the graduation of three other Huskies. Lauren Ebert (’10), a steady force on the backline, fi nished her career with three goals and fi ve assists for 11 points. Ebert was a four-year starter on defense who started every game as a senior, play- ing 1945 of a possible 1981 minutes. Along with Ebert and Taylor, the Husky defense saw the departure of Jessica Diakun (‘10). Diakun fi nished her career with two goals and one assist for 5 points. The fi nal de- parting senior was forward Brianna Gray (’10). Gray saw action in 18 games as a senior after hitting the fi eld 18 times combined in her fi rst 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-Confer- ence teams. Lauren Ebert (’10) joined current seniors Becky Gundling (Farmington, Conn.) and Kacey Rich- ards (Williamstown, N.J.) on the NEWISA All-New Eng- land 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 follow- ing a year in which she moved from midfi eld to defense. Joining Richards and Taylor on the BIG EAST All-Star Teams was freshman standout Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland).

2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER 47 UNIVERSITY2009 SEASON REVIEW OF CONNECTICUT 27 NCAA Appearances z 8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles z 2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles While the season failed to provide the outcome the players and coaches had visualized, there were several memorable highlights from 2009. The Huskies brought drama and upsets to this past year’s UConn Classic. In game one, UConn’s Melissa Busque provided the drama with an overtime goal in the 98th minute to lift the Huskies over Boston University, 1-0, on Friday, September 11th. On Sunday, in the fi nal game of the UConn Classic, the Huskies upset No. 8 Wake Forest in convincing fashion with a 4-2 victory over the Demon Deacons. UConn went up 3-0 in the fi rst 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 fi rst half. Connecticut would hand Boston University another dramatic de- feat when the two teams faced off in the NCAA First Round. After earn- ing an at-large bid to the tournament, UConn faced off against the Terriers for the second time this season. In similar fashion to their fi rst encoun- ter, 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 fi red 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 bench- mark 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 re- ceived 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 Outstanding Senior Athlete for women’s soccer while Ebert was honored 2009 Senior Defender #10 Lauren Ebert as the Outstanding Senior Scholar-Athlete for 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 signifi cant 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 atten- dance during halftime of the game. Overall, the weekend celebration was an amazing tribute to the women’s soccer program and was enjoyed by all.

74 2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUTRETIRED NUMBERS 14 BIG EAST Players of the Year z 44 All-American Selections z 77 All-BIG EAST Selections 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 four- time 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 accom- plishments 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”.

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.

2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER 91 UNIVERSITYFOREIGN TOURS OF CONNECTICUT 27 NCAA Appearances z 8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles z 2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles FForeignoreign ToursTours In August of 1992, Len Tsantiris added a new dimension to Connecticut women’s soccer by bringing the team on an inter- national 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 certifi cation and fi tness 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 fi rst international tour. The team played a challenging six- game schedule against top Division I and II clubs which included national team players from Denmark, Australia and Finland. The team fi nished 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 benefi ts of the program’s fi rst 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 Hus- kies 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 fi eld, 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 fi rst division, along with Mejrup (2-1) and FFI (3-1). The team’s only loss came to a very expe- rienced and talented For- tuna squad, the #1 ranked club team in Europe at the time. Though the Huskies lost this game, they quickly identifi ed areas that needed improvement for the regular season by gaining tremen- dous experience. Conse- quently, UConn challenged for a national championship the following year. In addi- tion, a relationship between UConn and Fortuna extend- ed into a return trip from Fortuna to Morrone Stadi- um on the UConn campus for an exhibition game on September 10, 1998.

92 2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUTFOREIGN TOURS 14 BIG EAST Players of the Year z 44 All-American Selections z 77 All-BIG EAST Selections 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 refl ected 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 benefi t 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 excel- lent food and amazing sites, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the team as they developed a more posses- sion style of play and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfi nal, 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 fi eld, the Brazil- ians display technical superiority, creativity and a confi dence 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 camara- derie 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.

2010 UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER 93 THEUNIVERSITY LONG ISLAND CONNECTION OF CONNECTICUT 27 NCAA Appearances z 8 BIG EAST Regular Season Titles z 2 BIG EAST Tournament Titles 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 JAMIE BAUMAN and Heather Kasper and again in 2010 when Devin Prendergast joined the Huskies.

Despite the rigorous demands associated with learning in the classroom and competing at the Division I level, the UConn women’s soccer team always fi nds time to give back to the community.

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