Caniglia Named to TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week

Senior Anna Caniglia has been named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Women's Team of the Week following her hat trick in Nebraska's 7-4 win at Kansas last Friday. The Omaha, Neb., native is one of 11 players honored nationally by the website for her outstanding performance.

Caniglia scored three times on four shots and added an assist against the Jayhawks, while delivering one of the top highlights of the 2009 season on a bicycle kick in the box to put the Huskers ahead 4-2 in the 59th minute.

Starting her 76th consecutive game, Caniglia gave Nebraska a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute on a tough-angle shot near the sideline, before contributing her final goal with 11 minutes remaining on a low shot that beat KU goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau to the far post. The senior finished the day with seven points, as she also assisted on Carly Peetz' score with 15 minutes remaining. She now ranks third in the Big 12 with eight assists this season.

Caniglia is the ninth non-forward to register a hat trick in school history and just the 15th Husker player to do so overall.

Nebraska wraps up the regular season this Friday against the Iowa State Cyclones at the Nebraska Soccer Field at 3:30 p.m. Caniglia and the rest of the 2009 senior class will be honored before kickoff.
