IRVING, Texas - Marshall University's freshman forward Angela DeSumma (Doylestown, Pa.) was selected to the 2008 Conference USA All-Freshman Team, as announced by the league office Tuesday. The 2008 women's soccer awards were voted upon by the head coaches from each member institution.
The 2008 C-USA postseason honor is the first for the Thundering Herd since 2006. Junior forward Molly Snead (Cincinnati, Ohio) represented Marshall on the 2006 C-USA All-Freshman Team.
"It is great to have a player earning conference postseason honors," Marshall's interim head coach Kevin Long said. "This award was the result of her teammates and Angela's diligence, as well as her on-and-off the field dedication."
Desumma ended the season tied for 15th in the nation for assists per game and as the league's assists per game leader (.58/game). Her 11 total assists ranked her first for the Herd and tied as the C-USA assists leader.
The freshman scored her first collegiate goal against East Carolina in the final match of the 2008 campaign.
DeSumma concluded 2008 with 11 points, 32 shots, with 18 being on goal in her 15 starts. In conference play, DeSumma notched six assists, eight points, 16 shots, with nine being on net in 11 matches played.
"As a freshman, we are excited for what she has to offer in the years to come," Coach Long added.
