Tracy Mullaney Named Preseason All-BIG EAST
 STORRS,
CT (Feb. 7) – University of Connecticut senior attack Tracy Mullaney
(Cockeysville, Md.) was unanimously named preseason All-BIG EAST in
lacrosse on Monday in a vote of the league’s coaches. Mullaney is one
of five unanimous selections on the 13-member team. She was the lone
Husky chosen.
Mullaney led the Huskies in 2004 with 41 goals and 13 assists for 54
points while starting all 17 games. She was one of just five Huskies
to start every contest. Mullaney’s 54 points in 2004 tied the school
record set in 2000 by Pamela Lowie, while her 41 goals last spring was
the third best seasonal total in Husky history. Mullaney is the
leading returning scorer in the BIG EAST Conference for the 2005
season as her 54 points edges out the 52 tallied in 2004 by
Georgetown’s Sarah Oliphant, also a unanimous preseason All-BIG EAST
selection. Mullaney enters her senior year third in UConn history with
137 points, placing just 36 shy of tying Lowie’s school record sum of
173 set from 1999 from 2002.
Georgetown, the 2004 conference champion, was picked to finish first
in the league this spring as well. The Huskies were tabbed for fifth
in a vote of the BIG EAST coaches.
UConn will open its 2005 season on March 4 at Stanford.
