Meggie Curran ’02- United Stated Naval Academy ‘07


Meggie Curran ‘02 was awarded the Vice Admiral Lawrence Sword for Women, which is presented to that woman of the graduating class who is considered by the Association's Athletic Council to have personally excelled in women's athletics during her years of varsity competition. The United States Naval Academy announced its major athletic award winners in May of 2007 at the annual Prizes and Awards Ceremony at Alumni Hall.

A three-time First-Team All-Patriot League selection, Curran became the program's first All-American when she was named to the third team last fall. She led Navy to a 21-2-1 record last fall as Navy advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. She finished her career as the school's all-time assist leader with 42, second all-time in scoring with 118 points and fourth all-time on the goals list with 38.

Curran is the fourth women's soccer player to win the award, established in 1980.
