Senior midfielder Sarah Oligney of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay was named the Horizon League's 2005 women's soccer Player of the Year to highlight the League's all-conference team and individual award winners, which were announced Wednesday (Nov. 2) at the annual pre-tournament banquet in Green Bay.


The Horizon League's other two individual honors were awarded to University of Detroit Mercy head coach Mike Lupenec as Coach of the Year and freshman defender Jess Rooma of Wright State University as Newcomer of the Year. Voting was conducted by the League's eight head coaches.


Oligney, who was the Co-Player of the Year in 2003, led the League in conference games only in all three offensive categories: points (15), goals (5, tied) and assists (5). A native of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., she helped the Phoenix to a third-place finish in the regular season and an overall record of 9-8-1 entering this week's League tournament. Oligney is a three-time first-team honoree after being a second-team selection as a freshman.

When comparing the 2004-05 Youngstown State women's basketball roster to the members of the 2005-06 squad, fans will see a dramatic difference in the composition of the two teams.

Last season, the Penguins rode the shoulders of five seniors and four returning starters to an eight-win improvement from the previous season and a sixth-place finish in the Horizon League after being predicted to finish in the cellar.

This season, the Youngstown State women's basketball program has added seven new faces and will rely heavily on its seven returning players and one returning starter to mentor and guide those newcomers.

Not only has the makeup of the team changed from last season, but third-year Head Coach Tisha Hill is anticipating a transformation in the Penguins' style of play.

Being from Belgrade, what was the biggest adjustment you had to make coming to the U.S. to play soccer?

The biggest adjustment I had to make was to learn how to live by myself, without my family and friends.
