November 6, 2006

SOUTH EASTON, MASS. - Bryant seniors Kristin Tighe (North Easton, Mass.) and Laynie Sadler (Rehoboth, Mass.) were selected to the Northeast-10 All-Conference teams.

Tighe was a first-team selection, while Sadler was named to the second-team.

Tighe had four assists this year while starting all 21 games, with all of her assists coming as the key stopper on corner plays. Rising to the challenge of anchoring the left side, she was one of the most tenacious and consistent defenders in the NE-10.

Sadler, a Bulldog co-captain, was named second team all-conference by the Northeast-10 after leading Bryant with 16 goals and 12 assists.  She was second in the conference in goals and points this season. She was also selected to the Northeast-10 All-Academic First Team.

Both players will participate in the 2006 Division II NFHCA North/South All-Star Game on November 18th, 2006 at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. at 5:30 p.m..

Bentley's Mary Rogers was selected as the Conference Player of the Year, while her teammate Alyssa Sliney was the Goalkeeper of the Year. Lowell's Kim Villare won Defensive Player of the Year, while her coach Shannon Hlebichuk was named Coach of the Year, her fourth straight appointment.
