            Senior Sammi Jo Saltalamacchia was named to the 2011 LEC Women's Soccer All-Conference First Team.  She led the Panthers in scoring this fall, her second year with the team after transferring from Keene State College.  The All-Conference teams are voted on by the league's head coaches.

            A 5'6" midfielder, Saltalamacchia topped PSU this season with six goals and three assists.  Four of her goals came against conference opponents, including the only score in PSU's LEC play-off lost to Western Connecticut.  A Childhood Studies major, Saltalamacchia was also named to the LEC All-Academic Team last week.

            The Panthers wrapped up the regular season at 5-11-1 overall and 2-4-1 in conference play.  They were the sixth seed in last week's LEC Tournament and got knocked out in the first round by Western Conn.
