LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Rider University women's soccer goalkeeper
Ellie Sciancalepore (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) headlined four Broncs named All-MAAC Monday morning as the league's Golden Glove Award Winner, representative of the league's top goalkeeper. Also named to the All-MAAC Teams were Second Team honorees
Anna Barkey (Parker, CO/Legend [UTRGV]) and
Lindsey Maslow (Hanover, MA/Hanover) and Third Team selection
Genevieve Ryan (Auckland, New Zealand/Mount Albert Grammar School).
Previously the MAAC Goalkeeper of the Year, the newly-named Golden Glove is presented to Sciancalepore after she posted a 1.32 goals-against average and an .829 saves percentage. She made a season-high 12 saves on three separate occasions – vs. Fairfield (Oct. 8), at Quinnipiac (Oct. 12) and vs. Canisius (Oct. 30) in the MAAC Quarterfinals. Also named to the All-MAAC First Team, she compiled a career-high six shutouts this season and played all 1,640 minutes for the Broncs, posting an 8-7-3 record. She was twice named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week on Aug. 29 and Oct. 24. Sciancalepore becomes just the second Bronc to earn the league's top goalkeeper award, joining Bethany-May Howard in 2016.
Barkey scored three goals in her only season for the Broncs after transferring in from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. All three of her goals came in the Broncs' three-game winning streak to surge from outside the MAAC Championship field to the No. 4 seed and hosting a quarterfinal game. She scored twice to spark the run in a 2-1 win at Mount St. Mary's on Oct. 19, before adding another game-winning goal on a header in the 78
th minute of a regular-season-finale victory over Siena.
Maslow scored a team-high six goals this season after finding the back of the net just once in her first three seasons in the Cranberry and White. Two of her goals were game winners in 1-0 road wins at Manhattan (Sept. 28) and Marist (Oct. 22). After scoring in non-conference play at Albany (Aug. 31) and Fairleigh Dickinson (Sept. 8), Maslow scored four of her goals against league competition, with the Broncs winning three of the four games. The lone loss came in the MAAC Quarterfinals after she put the Broncs on top of Canisius in the 12
th minute. Maslow played 90 minutes five times in 2022.
Ryan was the Broncs' top defender this season, starting all 18 games and playing every minute 12 times. In the Broncs' final 13 games, she left the field just once and played every minute of Rider's last eight games of the season. She was instrumental in the Broncs' allowing just a 1.32 goals-against average in her second full season in Lawrenceville.
