The stats: 36 goals, 6 assists
The experience: “It’s been a good experience. We were part of a young team that we’ve seen grow. This year wasn’t the best outcome, but we got through some challenging times, and I think we’ve been part of a team that’s been growing for the past four years, and that’s always exciting.”
Best memory: Beating Richmond in the last home game for the first time since 2005.

Nicole Trickett: Women’s Soccer

The stats: 10.6 points per game, 2.1 assists per game
What Happened: Rice earned the Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year Award in his sophomore season and led the Colonials in scoring his junior year with 16.2 points per game. After being named the A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player in 2007, Rice was expected to be the driving force behind the Colonials this year. After an injury to Travis King forced Rice to share some of the point guard duties, his offensive production went downhill and Rice was suspended twice during non-conference play. The athletic department announced his dismissal from the team for breaking team rules, March 6.
