WALTHAM, Mass. – Two members of the Brandeis University
women's soccer team have earned All-University Athletic Association
(UAA) honors. Senior midfielder Sarah Jasak of Middletown, N.J.,
and Sophomore forward Melissa Gorenkoff of Woodbury, N.Y., both
earned second-team All-Association honors. This is the first
All-UAA selection for both players, who were chosen by a vote of
the conference's head coaches.
Jasak was Brandeis's leading scorer during the regular season, with
eight goals and seven assists for 23 points. She had three
multiple-goal games for the Judges, including scoring both goals in
the squad's 2-0 win over UAA rival New York University in the
regular-season finale on Nov. 3. She also scored twice against MIT
on Sept. 1 and against Roger Williams University on Oct. 23. Jasak
also had a key goal in a 1-1 tie in a UAA contest against the
University of Chicago on Oct. 12, scoring just three minutes after
the Maroons had taken the lead. For her career, Jasak scored 14
goals and had 14 assists for 42 points.
Gorenkoff finished the regular season second on the squad in
scoring with seven goals and four assists for 18 points. She has
since added a goal and an assist in the postseason. Gorenkoff had
one goal in UAA play, an insurance goal in a 2-0 win over Case
Western Reserve University on Oct. 6. She also earned UAA Offensive
Player of the Week honors on Sept. 25, as she scored four of
Brandeis's six goals in a 2-0 week. For her career, Gorenkoff has
12 goals and nine assists for 33 points in two seasons for the
Judges.
Additionally, junior back Meredith Milstein of Waterford, Mich.,
was an honorable mention.
Overall in 2007, Brandeis finished the season with a 13-6-2 record,
3-3-1 in the UAA, tied for fifth place. In coach Denise Dallamora's
27th season at the helm, the Judges won their first-ever Eastern
College Athletic Conference Division III New England title,
defeating Emerson College, 3-0, in the quarterfinals; MIT, 1-0, in
the semifinals; and Keene State College, 2-0, in the championship
match.
