Matheson, Numann Named SoccerBuzz All-Mid-Atlantic Region
December 11, 2006 | Women's Soccer
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Princeton junior midfielder Diana Matheson and sophomore defender Taylor Numann have been honored by SoccerBuzz.com on its All-Mid-Atlantic Region teams.
Matheson was chosen to SoccerBuzz's first-team all-region along with 13 others from schools stretching from Pennsylvania to Virginia. The honor adds to Matheson's First-Team All-Ivy selection and her second-team all-region pick by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America after leading the Tigers with eight goals and five assists despite playing only 11 games this season. Her five missed games were due to her commitments with the Canadian national team, with which she spent much of November on the way to a 2007 Women's World Cup qualification spot.
With 20 goals and 19 assists for her career, Matheson stands one assist behind Kathleen Kobler '90 for the all-time career lead and is tied for fourth all-time in total points with 59. Already, Matheson has been honored three times as a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy pick and was a 2004 NSCAA First-Team All-American while the Tigers were on their way to the NCAA College Cup semifinals that season.
Numann was selected to SoccerBuzz's third-team all-region for anchoring a defense that allowed just 17 goals this season, down from 21 in 2005. Numann was also a First-Team All-Ivy choice.
The Tigers finished 8-7-1 this fall to secure the program's 10th straight winning season.
