Colombo Named ECAC Division III South Region Player of the Year
CAPE COD, Mass. - Senior Megan Colombo of the Swarthmore College women's soccer team has been named the ECAC Division III South Region Player of the Year, the organization announced earlier in the week.
The Player of the Year honor is Colombo's second of the 2010 season; in November, she became the first player in program history to be named Centennial Conference Player of the Year.
For the 2010 season, Colombo led the Garnet in goals (9) and points (20). In Conference play, she finished first in game-winning goals (4), tied for second in goals (9) and fourth in points (20).
Colombo rewrote the program record book in her final season at Swarthmore, becoming the all-time leader in career goals (31) and points (75). Colombo broke both records with the first of her three goals in a 5-0 victory of Bryn Mawr on October 9. Midway through the season, Colombo went on a tear, scoring eight of her nine goals during a five-game winning streak that helped the team achieve its highest NCAA Regional ranking in program history.
