It took a while, but the Stanford women's soccer team finally produced its "Dynamic Duo" for the 2010 season ... in fact, the Cardinal have gone one better, joining Siena as the nation's only teams with three double-digit goalscorers this season: senior forward Christen Press (26), junior midfielder Teresa Noyola (10) and junior forward Lindsay Taylor (10). Noyola and Taylor both scored their 10th goals of the season to help fuel the recent 5-0 NCAA quarterfinal rout of Florida State.

Stanford joins fellow semifinalists Notre Dame and Boston College on the list of Division I women's soccer teams with multiple double-digit goalscorers in 2010. There now are 22 teams with this rare Dynamic Duo distinction (15 of those teams qualified for the 2010 NCAA tournament).   (note – research courtesy of CollegeSoccer360.com)


Here are the teams in the 2010 NCAA semifinals that feature double-digit goalscorers:
• Stanford ... Christen Press (26), Teresa Noyola (10) and Lindsay Taylor (10)
• Notre Dame ... Melissa Henderson (17) and Rose Augustin (11)
• Boston College ... Victoria DiMartino (14) and Kristen Mewis (10)
Note – Paige Maxwell leads Ohio State with 10 goals, followed by Tiffany Cameron (7)

Four teams in the country have produced multiple players with 12-plus goals: Florida, Boston University, Hofstra and Virginia. North Carolina nearly had three double-digitgoalscorers (Kealia Ohai 14, Courtney Jones 11, Crystal Dunn 9).

Three teams in the round-of-16 were close to joining the Dynamic Duos list, but came up short: Georgetown (Camille Trujillo 13, Ingrid Wells 9) ... UC Irvine (Tanya Taylor 11, CoCo Goodson 9) .... and Duke (Laura Weinberg 10, Mollie Pathman 8).

  
In addition to the teams mentioned above, there were six other NCAA participants with a pair of double-digit goalscorers: South Florida, St. Francis (PA), Texas A&M, UNC Greensboro, Central Florida and Maryland. Seven teams that did not qualify for the 2010 NCAAs – most notably bubble teams Denver and Nebraska – finished their seasons with two double-digit goalscorers.

A full listing of the 22 teams follows at the bottom of this blog post.

Double-Doubles Update (players w/ 10-plus goals and assists; courtesy CS360)

RELEASE: Dec. 1, 2010
Contact: Pete LaFleur (editor@genevaglen.org)

Notre Dame recently became the first team in Division I women's soccer to have two players each with double-digit goals and assists, with junior forward Melissa Henderson (Garland, Texas) joining senior M/F Rose Augustin (Silver Lake, Ohio; 11G-10A) on that exclusive list. Henderson (17G-10A) – now one of 11 players in the nation with 10-plus goals and 10-plus assist – registered her 10th assist of the season in the closing minutes of the 2-0 quarterfinal win at Oklahoma State, setting up Elizabeth Tucker's second goal of the game to help secure the victory.

Later that night (Nov. 26), Stanford junior midfielder Teresa Noyola (Palo Alto, Calif.) became the 11th member of this list when she scored in the 5-0 rout of Florida State (10G-12A).  (note – research courtesy of CollegeSoccer360.com.).

Two top forwards who will be competing this week at the NCAA College Cup's final weekend – Stanford senior Christen Press (26G-8A) and Boston College sophomore Victoria DiMartino (14G-8A) are two assists shy of earning the "Double-Double" distinction. BC sophomore M/F Kristen Mewis (Hanson, Mass.) already has reached double-digits in both categories (10G-14A). Ohio State – which will join ND, Stanford and BC at the final-week showdown – does not have a player within realistic range of the double-double list (soph. F Tiffany Cameron is closest, with 7G-5A).

Two sophomores – Nebraska forward Morgan Marlborough (Lee's Summit, Mo.) and Dayton midfielder Colleen Williams (Titusville, New Jersey) – are the only players in Division I women's soccer currently with 12-plus goals and 12-plus assists, as each totaled 18G-12A during the 2010 season.
