3rd Season

Following an outstanding career at the University of Connecticut, Melissa Bostwick returns for her third year on staff as graduate assistant coach.

As a two-year starting goalkeeper for the UConn Huskies, Bostwick's statistics included starting 45 straight games, securing 16 shutouts, recording 123 saves for a save percentage of 73.2%, and limiting opponents to less than one goal a game (0.98 GAA). For these efforts, Bostwick was named as a NFHCA third team All-American in 2004 and second team All-Big East performer in 2005.

Bostwick was instrumental in helping lead the 2004 Husky squad to a 20-2 overall record with a remarkable 0.58 goals-against average and a save percentage of 83.7--both marks which led the nation. In addition, she posted a Big East-best 12 shutouts that season.

As a senior in 2005 and working with a defense that included three new starters, Bostwick led the Huskies to their second consecutive Big East tournament championship--and sixth in eight years--and the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

A native of San Diego, Calif., Bostwick graduated from University City High School in 2001. She received her Bachelor's degree in English from UConn in May 2006.
