Sequeira Garners All-Skyline Women's Soccer Accolades; DeRosa Named to All-Sportsmanship Team
NEW YORK — Recognizing a junior campaign scoring 19 goals, Deserae Sequeira (Clark, N.J./Arthur L. Johnson) was named to Skyline All-Conference Second Team and classmate Rebecca DeRosa (Ronkonkoma, N.Y./Connetquot) earned a spot on the All-Sportsmanship Team as announced by the league office earlier today.
Sequeira finished the regular season third in points (46) and tied for third in goals scored (19) to earn her third-straight All-Skyline accolade. After pouring in four goals in a season-opening victory at Gallaudet, she found the back of the net twice in their home-opening triumph over York to become the program's leading goal scorer less than two games into her junior season. Also the Bears career points record holder (145), she needs just three helpers to tie the program record for assists. Named Player of the Week once this season, the Sequeira assembled six multi-goal games and a pair of multi-assist games.
DeRosa played in all 18 games for the Bears and finished with career-highs of four goals and 10 points. She logged a goal and an assist in the win over York and recorded her first multi-goal game with a pair of tallies and an assist in the win over Medgar Evers. She also scored the lone goal in a Skyline matchup at Sarah Lawrence.
The Bears finished their season with a 7-11 record overall and in ninth place with a 2-8 league record.
The all-conference teams and Player, Rookie, and Coach of the Year awards are voted on by the Skyline Conference's 11 head women's soccer coaches based on regular-season play.
