BUFFALO, NY - Seniors Emily Russell (Averill Park, NY/Academy of the Holy Names) and Devon Russell (Averill Park, NY/Academy of the Holy Names) were named to the Northeast Region Women's Soccer team as voted on by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Twice this season, she scored three or more goals in a game. She was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week on Sept. 8. Emily was also named to the All-MAC First Team in 2003.

This marks the second time that Devon Russell has been honored by the NSCAA. The UB defender was named to the Northeast Region Second Team in 2001. This season, Russell started all 20 games and registered two goals and two assists. She was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week and Scholar Athlete of the Week on Sept. 3. This is the third postseason award garnered by Devon as she was also named to the All-MAC First Team and Academic All-MAC team following the 2003 season.
