SCHUTT NAMED TO SOCCERBUZZ.COM MID-ATLANTIC ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM
PHILADELPHIA (1/29/04) – Freshman Megan Schutt has been named to the Mid-Atlantic Region All-Freshman team selected by SoccerBuzz.com. She is the first Hawk to receive freshman regional recognition in the program's eight-year history.
Schutt paced Saint Joseph's in goals (11), assists (5) and points (27) in 2003, leading the Hawks to their first ever berth in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The forward was named to the All-Atlantic 10 first team and A-10 All-Rookie team and was the conference's Rookie of the Year. Schutt also received All-Mid-Atlantic Region third team honors from the National Soccer Coaches Associated of America (NSCAA).
The Sudbury, Ontario native set SJU freshman records for goals, assists, and points and her offensive output was the second best performance in team history behind Stenrud's 1997 campaign (12-6-30). Schutt finished second in the Atlantic 10 in points and third in goals.
Besides qualifying for the Atlantic 10 postseason, SJU set team records for conference wins (seven) and its 9-8-1 overall record was the best since 1999.
Richmond's Brooke Binswager was the only other Atlantic 10 player to earn all-region all-freshman honors.
