Through three years of her career, Tesia Kozlowski has yet to miss a start while continuing to climb the Flyers' all-time scoring charts. The Soccer Buzz all-american senior midfielder will graduate as one of UD's most decorated women's soccer student-athletes, as she is the first Flyer to earn three consecutive mentions on the All-Ohio First Team and three straight nods on the Atlantic 10 All-Championship Team. The 2001 A-10 Rookie of the Year has also been selected in back-to-back years to the All-Atlantic 10 First Team -- and could become the first Flyer to make it three straight. For her career, UD is 29-4-1 in matches when she records a point.

Kozlowski currently sits fourth in career assists with 23, needing only six more to pass Jen Davin (1996-99) and Cara Arledge (1985-88) who hold the UD record with 28. With 19 career goals, Kozlowski needs just four more to crack the UD top 10 list, while just one more tally will make her the fourth all-time member of UD's "20-20 Club" -- which recognizes players with 20 career goals and 20 career assists.
