In the impressive history of the Union College women's soccer team, there has only been one player to earn multiple All-America honors, and that player is Brittany Cressman.
Cressman starred for four years on the pitch for the Dutchwomen from 2001-04, finishing her career with 49 goals and 43 assists for 141 points in 83 games – making her one of only 58 D-III women's soccer players ever to record 40 goals and 40 assists in a career. She remains the school's all-time leader in assists in addition to ranking second in goals, points and games played, while also boasting the top-two single-season assist totals and two of the three highest single-season point totals in program history.
She was named to the NSCAA All-America second team for the first time in 2003, when she set the school single-season record with 18 assists and added 16 goals for 50 points. She then earned NSCAA All-America second-team honors again in 2004, which she added to Liberty League Player of the Year honors after once again scoring 16 goals with 18 assists as a senior, making her the only player in school history to twice reach 50 points in a season. She capped her career by earning Most Valuable Player honors at the 2004 ECAC Upstate Championship, scoring both goals in the title-game win over Plattsburgh State that gave Union a program-record 19 wins for the second straight year.
