Angela Hucles currently competes with the U.S. national team that recently won its third Four Nations Tournament championship and was a member of the 2004 Olympic gold-medal-winning women’s soccer team. Hucles made her mark in the soccer world when she became the all-time leader in goals scored both in high school - Norfolk Academy (204) – and college - the University of Virginia (59). While at Virginia she held records in game-winning goals (19) and total career points (138) and was selected as a four-year all-conference player, Mid-Atlantic All-Star two years running, first-team Atlantic Coast Conference All-Star and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America second-team All-American. Through her work with the Massachusetts State Treasury Department’s “Savings Makes Cents” program, in which she speaks to schoolchildren about the importance of saving, she has extended her accomplishments beyond the soccer field. Hucles was drafted in the Women’s United Soccer Association’s inaugural season by the Boston Breakers (2001). Her professional career also includes competing with the W-League’s Hampton Roads Piranhas and Boston Renegades. (8/08)
