Heading into the 2009 NCAA semifinals (as of Dec. 1), there still are only 12 Division I women's soccer teams that have multiple double-digit goalscorers, with Portland being the only program that boasts three or more players (4) who have 10-plus goals. Nine of the teams with multiple double-digit goalscorers qualified for the NCAAs, including six of the eight quarterfinalists (Stanford, UCLA, Portland, Florida State, Wake Forest and Notre Dame), plus three teams that were eliminated in the first two rounds of the NCAAs – Penn State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and LSU – along with NCAA non-qualifiers Charlotte, Central Connecticut and Middle Tennessee). North Carolina is the only semifinal team without double-digit goalscorers – in fact, prior to Casey Nogueira's quarterfinal hat trick, UNC had no players with 10-plus goals this season (Nogueira now has 12).
Friday's first semifinal will feature the duos with the most combined goals this season: Stanford's 45-goal tandem of senior Kelley O'Hara (25G) and junior Christen Press (20); and UCLA's 40-goal pair of sophomore Syndey Leroux (23) and senior Lauren Cheney (17). All four of these players are effective multi-dimensional scorers and each can quickly change a game with timely scores or flurries of goals. O'Hara (13A), Press (15) and Cheney (10) all are among an elite list of 13 players nationwide with double-digit goals and assists this season (see below).
The 26 players referenced on this page include 12 (eight of them from quarterfinalist teams; three from semifinalists) who individually have totaled double-digit goals and assists this season:
The only other player in the country (13 total) with 10-plus goals and 10-plus assists this season is Canisius senior Sylvia Kowalski (14G-10A). ... Note that CS360 is in the process of constructing a separate page for these "double-double" players.
