About Joseph J. Morrone Stadium Joseph J. Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of just under 4,500 and a natural grass playing surface, is one of the finest college soccer facilities in the nation. The natural grass playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards, the maximum dimensions for a collegiate soccer field. The stadium has undergone major improvements over the past several years. This new-look Stadium has been funded by both state monies and by private contributions through the UConn Friends of Soccer support organization. The latest part of the new-look to Morrone Stadium are its visual enhancements which provide recognition of historical team and individual achievements. These enhancements are panels that have been placed in each end zone as well as on the front side of the press box. Prior to the 2010 additions, Morrone Stadium’s last feature added was a full field lighting system, installed right before the 2000 soccer season. The addition of lights to Morrone Stadium was a tremendous boost to the soccer program. The facility is one of the top collegiate sites in the nation and the ability to play matches under the lights means the national-level soccer program has a national-level, state-of-the-art home surface, day and night. In addition, the matches played under the lights create an enjoyable atmosphere which can involve the entire soccer community and generate a positive effect on home game attendance. The enhancements over the years at Morrone Stadium include: a state-ofthe-art scoreboard and message center; aluminum bleachers; replacement of Coach Morrone the natural grass surface, with new grass and an irrigation and automatic watering system installed; and one of the top press boxes in the country. The fully enclosed and heated aluminum-sided press box measures 120 feet. It includes a 60-foot midsection for working media, rooms for television and home and visiting radio, an enclosed upper camera deck, and special hospitality areas for guests. Additionally, television monitors are positioned throughout the press box for viewing the game action below. On April 11, 1997, the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Connecticut Soccer Stadium as the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The naming of the stadium enables the Division of Athletics to recognize the significant contributions that Joe Morrone has made to the growth of soccer on all levels, but more specifically at the University of Connecticut. Coach Morrone retired as head coach of men’s soccer at Connecticut following the 1996 season. In 28 years directing the UConn program, Morrone compiled an overall record of 358-178-53, and in 39 years as a collegiate head soccer coach he compiled a 422-199-64 record, ranking him as one of only four collegiate soccer coaches with more than 400 career victories. In 1981, he led Connecticut to the NCAA Division I National Championship. Coach Morrone passed away on September 16, 2015.

Len Tsantiris Head Coach 37th Season UConn ‘77 Head coach Len Tsantiris embarks on his 37th year as the head coach of the women’s soccer program at Connecticut in the 2017 season. In 2012, Tsantiris became only the second coach in collegiate women’s soccer to reach the illustrious milestone of 500 career victories. Under his leadership, UConn has advanced to 29 NCAA National Tournaments, including 26 straight from 1982-2007. Four of those postseason appearances included visits to the NCAA Championship Game in 1984, 1990, 1997 and 2003. During his tenure, Tsantiris has created a women’s soccer program that has received national attention for the team’s successes on and off the field. In his 36 seasons in charge of the UConn women’s soccer program, Tsantiris, an inductee of the Class of 2012 for AHEPA Hellenic Athletic Hall of Fame, has compiled an outstanding 563-192-56 record. The Huskies captured both The American Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2016. Tsantiris took home the AAC Coach of the Year honor for the second consecutive season with an unbeaten 8-0-1 American Conference record. For the third consecutive season, the Huskies advanced to the NCAA Tournament and won at least one contest, defeating Albany 4-2 in the First Round. Tsantiris coached two NSCAA All-Americans, Rachel Hill and Stephanie Ribeiro, for the second-straight year. With the completion of the 2015 season, Tsantiris celebrated 35 years as head coach of the Huskies and was awarded the 2015 AAC Coach of the Year Award. He led UConn to a 19-4-0 season and had a perfect home record, 10-0-0. UConn finished with an 8-1 conference record, which earned the team the American Athletic Conference regular season title. The Huskies earned an at-large bid and made their 30th NCAA appearance in 2015, hosting Siena in the first round. UConn advanced to the third round of the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2007, where the Huskies were knocked out by Rutgers. After an uncharacteristic three-year hiatus, Tsantiris returned UConn to the NCAA Tournament in 2014 thanks to a 14-5-5 record. The Huskies received an auto-bid for the tournament after winning their first American Conference Championship. Entering the 2014 Tournament as the No. 4 seed, UConn knocked off Tulsa at home by a score of 1-0 and then defeated top-seed and nationally ranked UCF by the same score in the semifinals. Facing tournament host USF in the title game, UConn played the Bulls to a scoreless draw before advancing and winning the crown in penalty kicks. UConn went on to reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament, falling at No. 8 Penn State after taking down New Hampshire at home.
regular season with a 10-7-1 record going 9-1-1 at home in Morrone Stadium. Under Tsantiris’ direction, in the first game of the NCAA Tournament, a double-overtime game winner by Brittany Taylor handed the Huskies the 500th program win and Tsantiris his 474th career victory. Under Tsantiris’ direction in 2008, a young squad returned to the BIG EAST Championship match for the first time since 2005. After starting the season slowly, the team rallied back earning some key road victories, which helped the Huskies into the BIG EAST tournament for the 15th time in program history. During the BIG EAST Championship game, the Huskies forced overtime with the nationally ranked No. 1 Notre Dame shutting the Fighting Irish out in regulation, the only team to do so during the 2008 season. The Huskies fell during the overtime period ending their season prior to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the school’s history. The 2007 Huskies advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the first time since 2003. It was their 26th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The team held a 10-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 9 through Oct. 9 and posted a 15-5-2 overall record. In BIG EAST play, the Huskies finished 10-1.

UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER • 2017 MEDIA GUIDE
Alumni on UConn... “For me, the decision to attend UConn was an easy one. After visiting many different schools and meeting several coaches, it became clear to me that the coaches at UConn were special. As Coach Tsantiris sat in my living room and talked with my family and me, there was something about him that let me know he really cared about me and wanted what was best for me. After making my decision to attend UConn, I saw nothing less than that. Growing up, I played in the National Pool with many talented players who also went to great programs, many of whom did not play right away. Coach Tsantiris gave me a chance and constantly showed his confidence in me. That is why I was able to be successful and enjoy playing in college. Playing at UConn was the best experience I have had and it would not have been possible without the coaches. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and the relationships I have gained, which will last a lifetime.”
“I chose UConn because I wanted to win a national championship. For me it was about finding the right fit of coaching with the right group of players, and UConn has proven to have both. You can pull all the stats and the records and the accomplishments of other top teams, but when the decision needed to be made it wasn’t about numbers at all. The decision for me was about the atmosphere, the players and the support which gave me a sense of home for the next four years. I wanted to have a team that I felt would be there battling next to me on the field, and when it was all said and done, still be at my side as we move on from this journey. UConn has given me that and more.”
- Meghan Schnur, 2007 Senior & BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year
- Kristen Graczyk (2001-2004) Brittany Taylor

“There are several different reasons why I chose UConn. I love the school itself, the size of it, how the campus is set up and, of course, the academic and soccer aspects - the coaches, the players, the facilities, everything! When I made my recruiting trip, I stayed with four older players in the apartments, saw the team play two games and practice and saw the men’s team play. I loved watching them play and loved how they played. But most importantly, I felt so comfortable that I already felt a part of everything. I had a feeling that this was going to be the right place for me. After the recruiting trip was over and I left for home, as soon as we got in the car, I told my parents that this is where I was going. I canceled my other recruiting trips and I chose UConn.”
- Brittany Taylor, (2005-2009)
“My desire to play at the highest level of collegiate competition is what attracted me to UConn. Their soccer program’s high national ranking was appealing, but even more impressive was the strong tradition and the high level of expectation. I was positive that my talents would be maximized through the competition from my teammates, the strength of the opponents, and the guidance of Coach Tsantiris. Playing for a national championship was a thrill of a lifetime.”
- Wendy Logan (1988-1991)
“Playing soccer at UConn was one of the best decisions that I ever made in my life. I knew going in how competitive it would be and what an honor it would be. What I didn’t know back then was that I was making life long friends.”
“I chose UConn because of the strength and intensity of the girls on the soccer team. My teammates and coaches have never allowed me to stop becoming the best version of myself; as a person, athlete, or player. And I don’t think they’ll ever stop pushing me to set a higher bar for myself in soccer or life. I am extremely grateful for what my teammates and coaches have taught me the past few years at UConn.”

Celebrating 30 Years of UConn Women’s Soccer During the weekend of September 12-14, 2008, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team celebrated its 30th anniversary as a varsity program. The celebration took place during the weekend of the 17th annual UConn Classic featuring three top-25 programs in the country as No. 1 UCLA, No. 11 Penn State, No.25 and Brown all competed. The weekend kicked off at the UConn vs. Virginia football game at Rentschler Field on Saturday, September 13. Prior to the game, over 80 alumnae and their families gathered at a pre-game tailgate to reunite with past teammates and to meet the 2008 team and current UConn staff and administrators. During halftime of the football game, all former UConn women soccer players in attendance were honored in front of a crowd of 40,000. Head Coach Len Tsantiris, a 1977 UConn graduate and coach of the Huskies for the past 28 years, was recognized with a 30th Anniversary poster that included pictures of every team in the history of the program. Also during the halftime ceremony, four standout former players were honored for their significant contributions to the program. Sara Whalen, Felice Duffy and Moira and Tara Buckley each received a commemorative bowl to honor their excellence in a Husky uniform. The weekend celebration continued on Sunday, September 14 as UConn hosted a brunch at the Nathan Hale Inn. The brunch included memorable speeches from former Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, Head Coach Len Tsantiris and three former Huskies. Melissa Morrone Taintor, Jill Gelfenbien Laufer and Meghan Schnur each recounted stories from their days as a Husky. The weekend culminated at the UConn vs. Penn State soccer game, with recognition of all alumni in attendance during halftime of the game. Overall, the weekend celebration was an amazing tribute to the women’s soccer program and was enjoyed by all.

UConn Retires Two Numbers In the 30-year history of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tara Buckley (right) was the first women’s soccer player to have her number retired. Tara Buckley’s number 5 jersey was retired after her stellar four-year career at UConn ended in 1983. Buckley, who played with sister Moira, has the distinction of being the only UConn women’s soccer four-time All-America selection. Sara Whalen (left) is the only other Husky to have her jersey retired.
Sara Whalen
• 1997 HONDA AWARD WINNER • 1997 NSCAA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR In 1997, University of Connecticut three-time women’s soccer All-American Sara Whalen was named the Women’s Soccer National Player of the Year by the Honda Awards Program and was selected as the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association National Player of the Year. Whalen was one of 11 finalists for the Honda Cup Broderick Trophy awarded to the female collegiate Athlete of the Year. Whalen led the 1997 UConn women’s soccer team to a single-season school record 23 wins and a spot in the NCAA Division I National Championship game. Connecticut concluded the 1997 season with an overall record of 23-4. The National Player of the Year honor for Whalen, as awarded by Honda, marked the first time a UConn women’s soccer star had received the award. Whalen, who hails from Greenlawn, N.Y., led Connecticut with 64 points (21 goals, 22 assists) on the year, second best in the nation. Her 22 assists also ranked second in the country for that category. Early in the 1997 season, Whalen made the transition from her more traditional post in the UConn defense (where she was selected a two-time First-Team All-American at back) to a new post in the UConn offense as a forward. The move paid dividends for Connecticut as Whalen had both goals in UConn’s 2-1 National Semifinal upset win over previously unbeaten Notre Dame, advancing UConn to the National Championship game. Connecticut fell to North Carolina 2-0 in the NCAA Championship game. In 1997, Whalen was tabbed First Team All-American as a forward, marking the third consecutive season she was a First-Team All-America selection. Among her accomplishments in 1997, Whalen was named Soccer America Magazine’s National Player of the Year, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance Female Athlete of the Year, a First-Team All-BIG EAST Selection, a First Team All-New England selection, Missouri Athletic Club National Player of the Year finalist, Hermann Award National Player of the Year finalist, Soccer Digest Magazine’s “Best collegiate soccer player in America” and USA Today’s “Most Versatile Player”.

The Huskies and the U.S. National Team Throughout the years, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer program has established itself as one of the premier programs in the country. In addition to the postseason appearances and perennial player accolades, several Huskies throughout the years have participated on the highest level of women’s soccer competition with the U.S. National Teams. These players have traveled internationally and across the United States where they have exhibited their skills and talents. Sara Whalen, a 1997 UConn graduate, helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to take home the 1999 World Cup Championship title and the Silver Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Former Husky three-time All-American forward Mary-Frances Monroe has also made several national team appearances. Most recently, midfielder Meghan Schnur played with the U-19 US Team that competed in the FIFA World Championship in 2004. Additionally, Kristen Graczyk was called in three times in 2005 to participate in the Under-21 National Team camp. During the summer of 2009, Brittany Taylor was called up to play for the National Team, while Elizabeth Eng participated on the youth National Squad. In 2014, current Husky Rachel Hill was selected to compete with the Yanks in the 2014 U-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Foreign Tours
In August of 1992, Len Tsantiris added a new dimension to Connecticut women’s soccer by bringing the team on an international tour of Denmark. Since 1992, the program has had the privilege of traveling to different parts of the world three additional times. The NCAA rule limits a foreign tour to once every four years, which allows Coach Tsantiris to bring each class once. He believes that it is an integral part of the education that his players receive during their four years at UConn: “Not only can we prepare for the regular season and play against some of the best women’s teams in the world, but our players have the opportunity to learn about different cultures, see how the game is appreciated in other countries, and experience parts of the world that they may never see again.” The foreign tour typically commences two days into preseason and lasts between 10 and 14 days. Players report to UConn in early August, complete compliance certification and fitness testing before the trip and then return to campus several days before classes begin. The following is a summary of the past four trips that Coach Tsantiris and his teams have taken.
1992: DENMARK In 1992, Coach Tsantiris made history and ventured into his first international tour. The team played a challenging six-game schedule against top Division I and II clubs which included national team players from Denmark, Australia and Finland. The team finished the trip 3-1-2. Coach Tsantiris was very pleased with the outcome of the trip, “I was excited to expose the team to international soccer,” said Tsantiris. “We chose Denmark because the women’s club leagues there play some of the best women’s soccer in the world. They play a thinking kind of game.”
1996: DENMARK AND NORWAY The success and benefits of the program’s first trip to Denmark encouraged Coach Tsantiris and his team to return to the Scandinavian countries four years later. Accompanied by many friends and family of the women’s soccer team, the Huskies began their Scandinavian tour in Copenhagen, Denmark. Highlights of the trip included attendance at a professional game, a scenic ferry ride from Denmark to Norway that included sights of the Oslo Fjord, and sightseeing in Copenhagen and Oslo. On the field, the Huskies improved on their international record from 1992 and came away from the trip with a 4-1 record. The Huskies beat Vejle (4-1), the No. 2 ranked women’s soccer professional club team in Denmark’s first division, along with Mejrup (2-1) and FFI (3-1). The team’s only loss came to a very experienced and talented Fortuna squad, the #1 ranked club team in Europe at the time. Though the Huskies lost this game, they quickly identified areas that needed improvement for the regular season by gaining tremendous experience. Consequently, UConn challenged for a national championship the following year. In addition, a relationship between UConn and Fortuna extended into a return trip from Fortuna to Morrone Stadium on the UConn campus for an exhibition game on September 10, 1998.

2000: GREECE AND ITALY In 2000, Coach Tsantiris decided that it was time to take the team to his homeland. He is originally from a small island in Greece, but the team did not visit his island. They spent time in Athens, Leptokaria Pieria and Thessaloniki. During a two week tour of Greece and Italy, the Huskies played eight games, winning all eight and were crowned champions of the 3rd AEGEAN Olympus Cup. Coach Tsantiris valued the opportunity to go overseas and reflected on the importance of the trip shortly before leaving, “We are going to Greece and Italy to play games. We will play four in each country in order to gain competitive game experience that you can’t get from practicing. It will be very valuable. This experience will help us next year and the year after and will benefit all of our classes.” Sightseeing on this trip included Mt. Olympus, the ancient site of Dion, the ancient castle of Platamon, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. After 7 days in Greece, the team traveled to Italy and spent time in Udine, Venice and Rome. With excellent food and amazing sites, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the team as they developed a more possession style of play and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinal, losing to the eventual National Champions. As coach Tsantiris foresaw, three years later the team played in the national championship game.
2004: BRAZIL The men’s Brazilian national team has seen dominance with the likes of Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and the women’s national team has emerged over the past seven years as a World Cup and Olympic contender. On the field, the Brazilians display technical superiority, creativity and a confidence in their abilities to which most players aspire. Believing that his players would learn from and pick up some of Brazil’s savvy play, Coach Tsantiris decided that a trip to South America would be a new and exciting opportunity for the program. A 12-day tour of Rio de Janeiro, Buzios and Teresopolis proved to be an amazing experience for the group. “Everyday we were doing something. A lot of good things came out of it and it was a very educational experience for everyone. The kids were able to experience a different culture and create camaraderie with one another. And at the same time, we were in the richest soccer country in the world. It gave us an opportunity to play against a totally different level of competition” said Tsantiris. The highlights of the trip included attendance at two professional games at Maracana Stadium, including a game in which former World Cup Champion Romario played. The team visited the Brazilian Soccer Hall of Fame within the Maracana, played beach soccer games against local players, visited the Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer tourist spots and practiced and played at the Brazilian National Training Center in Teresopolis.

THE
LONG ISLAND CONNECTION In his 35 -year history with Connecticut women’s soccer, Len Tsantiris has had 16 natives of New York’s Long Island play for the Huskies. Not only have these 17 competed as members of the team, they have each had a major impact on the program. Twelve have earned postseason honors and six of the Long Island products have been named All-Americans. All-Americans hailing from Long Island include three-time All-American Sara Whalen and Mary-Frances Monroe, former assistant coach and 1991, 1992, and 1993 All-American Karen Ferguson, 1991 All-American Cathy Cambria, 1988 and 1990 All-American Beth Grecco, and 1987, 1988, and 1989 All-American Kim Prutting. The Huskies had their seventh different Long Island athlete named All-American in 2007 when Brittany Taylor earned the honor. The Long Island tradition continued in 2008 with the addition of Michelle Reynolds and Heather Kasper and again in 2010 and 2011 when Devin Prendergast and Gabrielle Charno joined the Huskies.

Huskies in the Community Balancing athletics with academics is undoubtedly one of the most time consuming and challenging experiences a student-athlete will ever encounter. Despite the rigorous demands associated with learning in the classroom and competing at the Division I level, the UConn women’s soccer team always finds time to give back to the community.
In the past, many members of the team have traveled to Mansfield Middle School to spend time in classrooms teaching children life lessons that are necessary to be successful both on and off the field. The student-athletes stressed the importance of teamwork and cooperation in the classroom, on the soccer field and in everyday life.

HUSKYSPORT HuskySport is a program that connects UConn students and student-athletes with North End Hartford youths through school-based, after school, and summer activities. HuskySport’s goal is to expose these youths to a variety of sports and physical activity in general. While involved in sport and physical activity, participants are also assisted in developing healthier lifestyles and forming positive relationships with current UConn graduate and undergraduate students, current UConn student-athletes, and former student-athletes, now graduate students, who serve as mentors.
In 2014, UConn women’s soccer partnered with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. The organization pairs children battling pediatric brain tumors with high school and college sports teams as a means of providing love, friendship and support throughout treatment. The squad held an official adoption ceremony in February, welcoming four-year-old Quinn Ostergren from nearby Tolland. Quinn received her very own UConn women’s soccer jersey and began lasting relationships with all of the players. She has been present at several of UConn’s spring training sessions and exhibition matches and will continue to be in attendance throughout the season. As Connecticut embarks on its 2014 campaign, Quinn will continue her quest to beat the disease with the Huskies’ support as she proceeds with chemotherapy sessions.
“She’s just like any other kid. She’s so full of life. Having her around makes you appreciate the little things that slip your mind everyday. Watching someone as little as her be so strong is amazing. She has so much love and support we couldn’t be any happier to have her as a part of the team.” - Sam McGuire ‘16
Quinn is interviewed by Huskies All-Access on her adoption day. To see the video of her adoption ceremony, log on to the UConn Huskies YouTube Channel.
