Soccer's Diana Matheson Earns Regional Honor
December 21, 2007 | Women's Soccer
PRINCETON -- Diana Matheson, already the Ivy League Player of the Year and a four-time first-team All-Ivy Leaguer, was named to SoccerBuzz.com's All-Mid-Atlantic Region second team, the organization announced Friday.
The honor comes despite
Matheson missing Princeton's first seven games to play for Canada in
the Women's World Cup. Upon her return, Matheson started Princeton's
last 10 games and led the team on the season with six goals and seven
assists.
In just her second game back, against Rutgers,
Matheson assisted on all four goals scored by Princeton players and set
single-game and career records in the process. Matheson finished her
career with 26 goals and 26 assists, becoming the only 20 goal/20
assist player in school history between both the men's and women's
soccer programs.
Matheson followed the Rutgers performance with
her highest point output of the season, scoring two goals and an assist
at Brown to move Princeton to 2-0 in the Ivy League.
Matheson
led the Ivy League in points per game at 1.9 with Penn's Jessica
Fuccello as the next closest competitor at 1.53. In assists per game,
Matheson, at 0.7, led Penn's Jess Rothenheber and Columbia's Sophie
Reiser (0.53).
The SoccerBuzz team honored 14 players each on its first, second and third teams in the region.
