ALBANY – New York State Senator Neil D. Breslin, Democrat 46th District, recently sponsored a resolution honoring The College of Saint Rose women’s soccer team for their excellent sportsmanship and for reaching the national semifinals of the 2009 NCAA Women’s College Soccer Championship.
This past season marked the second consecutive year the Golden Knights advanced to the national semifinals. They furthermore became only the third team in Northeast-10 Conference history (1985) to win three consecutive NE-10 Tournament titles.
Saint Rose was 24-1 last autumn and finished one victory shy of tying an NCAA Division II single-season record. The team’s lone loss was an overtime decision to eventual national champion Grand Valley State (MI). Additionally, head coach Laurie Darling Gutheil was named the 2009 NSCAA/Mondo National Coach of the Year. In the past eight seasons, she has led the Golden Knights to a 135-27-14 record and seven NCAA Tournament appearances.
