Emory had a 3.44 average, 25th highest in the nation among the 256 women's teams honored in NCAA Divisions I, II and III, and NAIA and JUCO for the 2001-02 school year.

Emory was one of nine NCAA Division III schools to have both its men's and women's soccer teams recognized for the second consecutive year. This is the sixth consecutive year both Emory teams have received the Team Academic Award.

---

(Nov. 16) Two Emory University players have been named to the All-University Athletic Association team.

Sophomore forward Jenna Kereiakes was voted by conference coaches to the first team while sophomore midfielder Nancy Wilson made the second team. Jessie Dean, Amy Franciscovich and Laurel O'Neal received honorable mention.

(Nov. 8) Emory University won its regular-season finale, 1-0 against Carnegie Mellon University (Pa.).

The win gives Emory a 14-5-0 record, the fourth-highest win total in school history. The Eagles also had 14 wins last season when they advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA national tournament.

Nancy Wilson scored her eighth goal of the season at 63 minutes with an assist from Sarah Brody, her second of the season.

Goalie Amy Franciscovich added to her school record with her 12th shutout of the season. She finishes the regular season with a 0.43 goals against average, tying the second-best mark in school history, first achieved by Andrea Pawliczek in 2001. (Pawliczek holds the record of 0.40 in 2000.)

As a team, Emory yielded eight goals this season, tying a school record set in 1998 and 2000. The Eagles' 0.42 GAA is third best in school history behind the 1998 team (0.34) and 2000 team (0.36).

The game was prefaced by Senior Day tribute to Jennifer Holm, Jenny Sale and Stacie Twehues.

(Nov. 6) Sophomore goalie Amy Franciscovich has been selected to the Academic All-District first team in women's soccer. Her name goes on the national ballot for the Academic All-America team.

Franciscovich carried a 3.96 cumulative grade point average as a chemistry major. She has made the Emory Dean's List every semester which recognizes students in the top 20 percent of their class.

Franciscovich's current 0.45 goals-against-average ranks 10th in the nation this season and is the fourth lowest in school history. She has set a school record with 11 shutouts this season.

Franciscovich has 72 saves, the fourth highest season total in Emory history. She needs five more saves to tie for third place. Her career total of 147 saves is fourth highest in Emory history.

Voting for the Academic All-District team is conducted by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Emory nominees represent the "college division" in District 3 which is composed of NCAA Division II and III, and NAIA schools in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

(Nov. 2) Emory University picked up its 13th win of the season, 2-0 against New York University.

This is the fourth consecutive year with 13 or more wins for the Eagles. This also is the eighth time in 16 years under Coach Michael Sabatelle that the team has amassed 13 or more wins.

Defender Jenny Sale scored the first goal of her career, assisted by No. 16 Jessie Dean, at the 16-minute mark to give Emory a 1-0 halftime lead.

Jenna Kereiakes scored the insurance goal at 87 minutes with help from Stacie Twehues and Penny Schenkkan. The goal was Kereiakes' 12th of the season, tying her for the seventh-highest total in school history. (Others with 12 goals are Elizabeth Adams, 1993; Skye Hardin, 1994; Anna Hemphill, 1997; Annie Schenck, 1999; and Amber Poe, 2001.)

Goalie Amy Franciscovich made eight saves for her school-record 11th shutout of the season. She broke the Emory record of 10 set by Andrea Pawliczek in 2001.

Franciscovich is challenging the school record for lowest goals against average in a season. She has a 0.45 GAA heading into the season finale next weekend. The lowest four season GAAs, including the record of 0.40, all belong to Pawliczek.

Franciscovich has made 72 saves this season, fourth highest in school history. She needs five more to tie Tracey Wester (1991) for third place.

If Emory shuts out its opponent in the season finale, the Eagles will tie the school record for fewest goals (8) allowed in a season. The 1998 and 2000 squads yielded eight goals each.
