Metuchen, NJ —
The United Women’s Soccer East Conference provided high-level entertainment throughout the season, with three competitive division races ensuring playoff berths came down to the wire. Ultimately, FC Buffalo emerged as the conference’s champion for the first time, thanks to Offensive Player of the Year Carissima Cutrona and Coach of the Year Nikki Bartholomew. Rochester Lancers’ Katie Cappelletti claimed the award for the conference’s best goalkeeper, while Marcela Robinson of Coppermine United emerged as the Defender of the Year.
Marcela Robinson claimed the Defensive Player of the Year award after helping Coppermine United win the Mid-Atlantic Division in its debut season. A key leadership presence at the back, Robinson combined stout defending with technical skill, completing the vast majority of her passes. She played every minute of every game as Coppermine United completed the season having allowed only 10 goals in 12 games.
