Subject: W Soccer teams picked as NEC favorite
In reply to: J.J. 's message, "CCSU Volleyball picked 2nd in the NEC poll" on 13:46:36 08/10/06 Thu

The Women's Soccer team has done what no other CCSU team has to date - win an NCAA tourney game. The expectations are high again as CCSU, the four-time defending conference champions, have been voted the Coaches preseason favorite to win the 2006 NEC women’s soccer title.

From the NEC:
Now in his seventh year at the helm of the program, three-time NEC Coach of the Year Mick D’Arcy has the Central Connecticut State (17-4, 9-0 NEC) program running on all cylinders. The Blue Devils were a perfect 9-0 in NEC play a year ago and have compiled a 32-4-1 record against conference opponents over the last four years. With CCSU looking to make its fifth consecutive NCAA College Cup appearance, D’Arcy’s challenge will be to replace a pair of stalwarts in NEC Player of the Year Sophie Hopper and NEC Defensive Player of the Year Ashley Ferra. The Blue Devils do bring back two all-stars, including high scoring senior forward Jessica McCavanagh (Massapequa, NY/Massapequa). McCavanagh, a former NEC Rookie of the Year and two-time all-conference performer, led the league with 10 goals and finished second with 22 points. She was also named the Most Valuable Player of the 2005 NEC Tournament after scoring the lone goal in CCSU’s 1-0 title game triumph over Long Island. Two freshman who played vital roles for CCSU last year are back in the fold in 2006. First team all-NEC honoree Allison Livsey (Avon, CT/Avon), a defender, led a defense that recorded ten shutouts on the year, while attacking midfielder Siobhan McCaffrey (Coventry, RI/Coventry) contributed two goals and four assists. In preparation for conference play, D’Arcy has assembled a challenging non-league slate that includes matches with 2005 NCAA College Cup participants Boston College, Hofstra, Dartmouth, UConn and Yale.

[> [> Men's Soccer voted 3rd in NEC preseason poll -- J.J., 11:31:10 08/14/06 Mon

Another strong men's soccer squad led by the the returning NEC POY take the pitch looking to win their first NEC championship and return to the NCAA tourney for the first time since a 1995 play-in game.

From the NEC:
Central Connecticut State (8-6-3, 5-3-1 NEC) not only has the most experienced head coach in the conference - Shawn Green enters his 22nd year manning the successful program - but also the two-time reigning NEC Player of the Year in Alex Harrison (Eastbourne, England/Willingdon). Harrison led the NEC in both goals-per-game (0.81) and points-per-game (1.75), and ranked second in the conference with 13 goals and 28 points as the Blue Devils finished tied for second place in the regular season. On the national scene, he concluded the year ranked sixth in goals-per-game and 12th in points-per-game. A pair of Harrison’s English compatriots Jan Klukowski (Wiltshire, England/Sheldon) (first team) and David Tyrie (Norwich-Norfolk, England/City Of Norwich) (second team) both earned all-conference recognition last season. Klukowski , a sophomore midfielder, was fourth in the conference in points (17) and sixth in goals (seven), while Tyrie, a sophomore defender, helped engineer a defense that yielded a mere nine goals in nine league games.
