University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's soccer players Claudia Piazza, Sara Petrucci, Lisa English and Olivia Gonsalves were all recognized as 2014 OUA all-stars as announced Wednesday afternoon.
A second-year midfielder, Piazza was the lone Blue named to the East's first team. The Brampton, Ont., native earns her second all-star nod in as many years after leading the Blues with seven goals in 16 games this season.
In her fifth and final year with the Blues, Lisa English, along with fellow co-captain Olivia Gonsalves were named OUA East second team all-stars at the midfield position. Together the duo led Toronto to a 10-4-2 regular season record and third-place finish. English ends her time at U of T with the second all-star nod of her career, while Gonsalves earns the honour for the second straight season with one year of eligibility remaining.
Fourth-year goalkeeper Sara Petrucci was named to the second team as well, boasting her third career provincial recognition. The Bolton, Ont., native was phenomenal for the Blues in net, posting a .91 goals against average and eight shut outs in 18 games this season.Â
