STORRS, Conn. – Freshman Tina Romagnuolo has been selected to the All-BIG EAST Women's Soccer Second Team in a vote by the league's head coaches. In addition, Romagnuolo was named to the All-Rookie Team.
Romagnuolo joins Erin O'Grady (1997) as the only two players in school history to earn all-rookie and second-team league honors for their performance in their freshman campaigns.
This season, Romagnuolo led Syracuse in scoring with 18 points, the fifth-highest total by an SU freshman since the program began in 1996. She led the squad with nine goals, which tie her for sixth on the Orange's single-season record list and for third on the all-time goals scored by a freshman leader list. Three of her goals this season were game-winners.
In the season finale, Romagnuolo scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner against USF. She netted the first goal of the day to give SU a 1-0 lead. With the score tied, 2-2, Romagnuolo scored in the 81st minute as the Orange went on to a 3-2 victory. It was her second multiple-goal game of the season.
