<p>Soccer Buzz Names Meggie Curran an All-American</p>
<p>ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Three-time All-Patriot League selection and 2006 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year Meggie Curran (Silver Spring, Md.) has been named a Third-Team All-American by Soccer Buzz. Curran is Navy’s first player named to an All-America team by any organization or media outlet.</p>
<p>Curran, who earned First-Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region recognition from the NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America) and Soccer Buzz, paced the league in her senior campaign in points (39), goals (12) and assists (15). She led the Mids in all three categories in each of the last three years. She finished the season ranked sixth in the country in assists per game, averaging 0.63 assists per contest, while her 1.63 points per game was the 25th-best average in the nation. Curran produced either a goal or an assist in 16 of the 24 games. She turned in multi-assist performances three times during the season, while producing a pair of goals against Jacksonville, including the game-winner, as well as Siena and Lehigh. </p>
<p>Curran closed out her career as the Mids’ second all-time leading scorer with 118 points on 38 goals (fourth most) and a program-record 42 assists. The three-year starter not only is the first Navy player to reach 40-plus assists in her career, she is only the third player in Patriot League history to achieve the feat. In addition, she also holds the top two single-season assists marks at the Academy with 15 and 14 in 2006 and '05, respectively.</p>
