The two seniors led the team offensively and defensively in the America East Tournament.
DURHAM, N.H. – University of New Hampshire women's soccer seniors Kaylan Williams (Marion, Ind.) and Caitlyn Keenan (Bow, N.H.) were named to the 2019 America East All-Championship Team the league announced Sunday following the conclusion of the 2019 title game.
Williams led the Wildcats in the post season with a team-high five points on two goals and one assist; her first goal opened up the scoring against #5 Binghamton in the America East Quarterfinal game at Wildcat Stadium; her assist also came in that game to fellow senior Ally Reynolds (Weymouth, Mass.) as a go-ahead goal in the second half. Williams also tallied a game-tying goal in the semifinal round at #1 Stony Brook, less than a minute after Stony Brook's 1-0 goal. In the 2019 season Williams appeared in all 18 games, starting 17 of them, with six goals and six assists for a total of 18 points.
Keenan was a part of a stalwart back four for New Hampshire that allowed just .875 goals per game in the regular season, and just 1.00 per game as a total. Keenan's ability to read the offense and get in position to break up plays was evident in UNH's final game of the season as she kept the team in the one-goal game with several blocked shots that would've been dangerous on-net chances. On the year, Keenan started all 18 contests, subbing out in just one game, with one goal on the year.
The 2019 America East tournament was won by the #1 seeded Stony Brook Seawolves; the team that has beaten UNH in the post-season in the last four consecutive years (three in the semifinals) has gone on to win the America East championship, making UNH the potential bellwether team of the conference. (2016 – Albany, 1-0 | 2017 – Stony Brook, 1-0 | 2018 – Albany, 1-0 | 2019 – Stony Brook, 2-1).
