WINTHROP, Mass. – After winning 11 games in 2021, the Albertus Magnus College women's soccer team placed Haley Andrews (Prospect, Conn.), Amanda McGeehan (Milford, Conn.), and Keegan Riccio (West Haven, Conn.) on the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) All-Conference Teams, as announced by the league Monday afternoon.
Andrews was named to the Second Team after ranking second on the Falcons and eighth in the conference with 23 points on nine goals and five assists. The senior from Prospect, Conn., earned her third consecutive All-Conference nod, being named Second Team in 2019 and Third Team in 2018. She warmed up as the season progressed, scoring in seven of eight games from the end of September and through most of October, all of which were in GNAC play. Andrews netted game-winners against Emmanuel (Mass.) College, Dean College, and Norwich University.
McGeehan takes home her first All-Conference selection, being named to the Second Team after doing it all for the Falcons at midfield. The junior Milford, Conn., native tied a career-high with two goals totaling four points on the season. McGeehan hit her first career game-winning goal against Regis (Mass.) College.
Riccio also collected her first All-GNAC selection today, being named to the Third Team as a back. The junior had a career year, setting new career-highs with 12 points and eight assists. The highlight of her campaign came in Albertus' 3-2 win over Lasell College, as she contributed to all three of the Falcons' goals with one goal and two assists. She also tallied assists on game-winning goals against Colby-Sawyer College and Norwich.
The final Falcon recognized today was freshman Aimee Diverniero (East Haven, Conn.), the team's 2021 GNAC All-Sportsmanship Team representative. Diverniero started in five of her 13 appearances, finishing the season with two shots.
