Cambridge, Mass. – Freshman Teresa Boring was named the America East Conference Rookie of the Year, as announced by the conference on Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Boring led the team in scoring with 20 points on nine goals and two assists. She tallied six consecutive goals for the Great Danes over a four game stretch from Sept. 14-26 in which UAlbany went 2-1-1. The native of Plainfield, Ill. also had a team-high three game-winning goals, which earned wins over Indiana State (9/14), Youngstown State (9/16), and Binghamton (10/11). The win over Binghamton was the first over the Bearcats in the program’s history.

Boring, also named to the league’s all-rookie squad, earned back-to-back rookie of the week honors (Sept. 4-9 and Sept. 10-16) after scoring five goals and adding an assist en route to a 3-0-1 record.

A four-year letterwinner at Plainfield High School, the 5-9 striker led the Wildcats to a 64-14-3 record and four conference championships. She scored 40 career goals and 17 career assists on her way to four all-conference and all-section selections and two conference most valuable player awards.

UAlbany concluded its season with a 5-10-3 record, the most successful season in the program’s history since joining the Division I ranks in 1999. This is the second-consecutive season that the squad has posted an improving record.
