Garden City, N.Y. - Adelphi University junior Rachel Ray (Rocky Point, N.Y.) was one of 44 women named to the 2008 Tewaarton Award "Watch list". The players on this list were nominated by coaches across all three divisions and are early season hopefuls for the 2008 Tewaaraton Trophy.
"This is a prestigious honor for Rachel," head coach Joe Spallina said. "I have had the opportunity of coaching her for the last five years and she is playing at a level she`s never played before. Rachel should have a great season."
Ray, who was recently named the ECC Preseason Player of the Year, is one of only five Division II players on the list. She is joined by Mallory Poole (C.W. Post), Breanna Haggerty (Merchyhurst), Michele Kelly (Stonehill) and Stephanie Kienle (West Chester)
Ray, a first-team All-American in 2007, led the Panthers last season with 40 goals and 33 assists for 73 points and added 45 groundballs. She is just the second women from Adelphi to be added to the "watch list". The first was four-time All-American Katherine Hock, who was selected to the list in 2005.
The Panthers kick off the 2008 season on Saturday, March 8, at Southern New Hampshire.
