No. 4 seed Florida International at the
2004 Aeropostale Sun Belt Conference Women’s

University Park.
The senior scored off a direct kick from
Andrea Marak as NT (16-5-1) won its first-ever
Sun Belt tournament title. The loss ends
the season for the Golden Panthers, who
finish the season with a 7-12-1 mark.
It was a physical match that saw 37 fouls

score.
Despite the loss, the Golden Panthers landed
three players on the all-tournament team
including junior forward Janet Ligouri,
junior midfielder Janessa Taddei and sophomore
