Champs in '96 Led by Ashlee Douglas and Christi Landi, the Tigers earned their first-ever conference championship in 1996 when they won the America East Conference by edging Delaware, 2-1 in four overtimes. The Tigers, who posted a 10-7-2 overall record, finished the season with just one loss in their final five matches to earn the title. Douglass, who ranks second in school history with 63 career points, led the '96 Tigers in scoring with 17 points. In the championship game victory over the Blue Hens, Douglass had the game-tying goal with six minutes remaining. Landi followed with the game-winning goal against Delaware, scoring in the 142nd minute when she tallied her team-leading sixth goal of the year on an 18-yard shot to the far corner. Landi finished her career as the Tigers' all-time leader with 27 goals and 70 points. She also ranks fourth in school history with 16 career assists.
