SOMERSET, N.J. – After a record-breaking 12-win season, the Sacred Heart University women's tennis team continued to add to the record book with a program-best five on the All-Northeast Conference list, as announced by the league on Thursday. 
 
After being named the Rookie of the Year last season, sophomore Katsiaryna Starastsenka held onto her spot on First Team Singles. The Mogilev, Belarus product led SHU in first singles with a 15-9 overall record and 6-2 mark in conference play. 
 
Starastsenka also teamed up with junior Ciara O'Toole at first doubles and the team earned a Second Team nod. The duo went 11-10 overall and 5-2 against NEC foes. The tandem is no stranger to the All-NEC list as they earned First Team honors a year ago. The native of Dublin, Ireland, O'Toole earned her third All-NEC accolade. 
 
Junior Vitalina Golod earned Second Team Singles for her performance in the third spot. Golod went 5-7 in third singles and 7-2 against the NEC with wins at second and fourth singles against Wagner and Merrimack. The Kyviv, Ukraine native was responsible for clinching SHU's match against Mount St. Mary's in the first round of the NEC Tournament. The match ended in three sets and gave the Pioneers' their historical 12^th win. 
 
Both Aina Garriga and Olivia Kharkover were named to the NEC All-Rookie list after they each earned a Rookie of the Week nod during the year. Garriga, who hails from Barcelona, Spain, primarily played at third and fourth singles and was 5-4 against the NEC, 10-15 overall. The native of Matawan, N.J., Kharkover shined in six singles as she posted a perfect 5-0 record in that spot, as well as a 4-0 mark in league play. The rookie finished the year with seven-straight wins. 
 
The Pioneers finished the season 12-13 overall and 5-2 in the NEC to finish third. Sacred Heart downed Mount St. Mary's, 4-2, in the opening round but fell, 4-1, to Fairleigh Dickinson in the semifinals.
