STORRS, Conn. (January 28, 2009) – Sophomore Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.) and senior Brittany Tegeler (Baldwin, Md.) have received Soccer Buzz Regional awards Wednesday. Richards was named to the All-Northeast First Team while Tegeler earned Third Team honors.
Richards played in almost every game for the Huskies just missing one game playing and starting in 22 games on the season. She played the most minutes of any Husky racking up 1,971 minutes of playing time in the midfield. She only tallied three points on the season but all came in BIG EAST play as she got her first point of the season on an assist against DePaul adding her first goal of the season against Syracuse.
Tegeler came up clutch for the Huskies when they needed it the most in BIG EAST play. She scored the only two goals for the Huskies in their game against Pittsburgh setting UConn off on a three-game unbeaten streak, their longest of the season. She also scored the only goal of the game for the Huskies in their tie against St. John's allowing them to remain in third place in the Atlantic Division and get a bye during the first round of the tournament. Tegeler finished the season in second place on the team in goals scored with five.
