AUSTIN, Texas – Texas soccer outside back Emma Regan has been included as part of Top Drawer Soccer's National Preseason Best XI Freshman Team, according to a Monday release from the organization.
A highly-decorated Canadian international, and part of UT's standout eight-member 2018 recruiting class that was ranked 16th in the country, Regan was one of just two Big 12 Conference rookies to make the national freshman squad (Anna Lawler – Oklahoma State).
In her first action for the Longhorns last Friday night, Regan was credited with an assist on sophomore midfielder Haley Berg's 51st-minute goal that granted the Burnt Orange & White a two-goal advantage in an eventual 3-0, exhibition victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
The Burnaby, British Columbia, native recently earned her first call-up to the Canadian Women's Senior National Team for a June 10, 2018, friendly against Germany. Regan also earned caps while playing all 450 possible minutes for Team Canada during its run to the third-place match at the 2018 CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship in Trinidad & Tobago. A veteran of Canada's U-20 national squad since 2015, she started all three matches at the 2016 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup in Papua, New Guinea, participated with the squad during the 2017 Australia Invitational and dished a pair of assists at the 2015 CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship in Honduras
Regan and her Longhorns teammates will officially kick-off their 2018 campaign on Fri., Aug. 17, by traveling to Houston, Texas, to battle Rice at 7 p.m. CT.
