Senior forward Missy Matusewicz (Florence, MA/Northampton) was named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's co-Most Valuable Player. Matusewicz shared the honor with Meredith Eisenhut of St. Lawrence.
The award adds to a long list of honors for Matusewicz, who is in the running to become Union' first national All-American in the sport of soccer. She finished the year with 20 goals and 45 points and ended her outstanding career holding every single one of Union's game, season and career scoring honors. Matusewicz, who started all 72 games of her career, finished with 69 goals, 23 assists and 161 points.
Senior midfielder Tonia Deligiannis (Niskayuna, NY/Niskayuna) joined Matusewicz on the first team. Deligiannis, who had 20 points this year, led the Dutchwomen and the UCAA in assists with 10.
Sophomore forward Abby West (Dalton, MA/Wahconah) and junior back Stephanie Maychack (West Sand Lake, NY/Averill Park) were named to the second team.
West finished behind Matusewicz in scoring with 11 goals and 31 points while Maychack was part of a defense that allowed just eight goals and set a team record with 13 shutouts.
Union won its second UCAA title in the last three years with a 6-1-0 record and finished with an overall mark of 15-2-2. The Dutchwomen were invited to the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive year and captured their second-straight NYSWCAA championship.
