BETHLEHEM, Pa.— The Patriot League announced its women's soccer postseason awards Friday, with
Ally Giovino and
Emily Amano each earning All-Patriot League Third Team honors.
Giovino, a forward, started all 17 of Colgate's games this season, logging 1,298 minutes of action, which was third-most on the team. She led the Raiders and finished second in the Patriot League in goals with five. The junior's team-high 10 points also ranked tied for seventh-best in the conference. Additionally, Giovino placed fifth in the league in both shots (33) and shots on goal (16).
The Westford, Mass. native scored in back-to-back games for the Raiders early in the season, notching a goal against Iona Aug. 21, and at Princeton Aug. 26. She also scored against Lafayette Oct. 22, and twice in the season finale at Holy Cross Oct. 26. Giovino earned conference accolades for the second-straight year after being named to the first team last season.
Amano, a midfielder, earned postseason honors for the first time in her career after playing in 16 games, 15 of which she started. The senior, who returned to Colgate for a fifth season this year, tallied two goals, both of which were game-winners. She scored Colgate's lone goal in a 1-0 win over Boston University Sept. 21 and sealed the deal in the Raiders' 4-1 victory over Holy Cross. Her two game-winners finished tied for third-most in the Patriot League.
The Ottawa, Ontario native also fired a career-high 24 shots and 14 shots on goal this season. Her 14 shots on target were also the sixth-most in the conference. Amano completed her Colgate career with eight goals, two assists, and six game-winning goals.
The Raiders have now had a player earn All-Patriot League accolades (first, second, or third team) every year since the 1990 season.
