Sophomore (2006):

Racine started all 16 games she played in for the Eagles during the 2006 campaign.  She helped anchor an Emory defense that recorded a 0.98 goals against average and nine shutouts during the season.  Racine scored one goal during the season, the second of her career, coming in a 12-0 win over Mary Baldwin College (Va.).  The sophomore took four shots during the season, two of which were on goal.   

Freshman (2005):

Freshman Leanna Racine played every game in the center of an Emory defense that did not give up a lead all season to earn an Honorable Mention to the All-University Athletic Association team. Racine was the backbone of a defense that did not allow a goal in any of the 11 games in which the Eagles scored first and which earned 13 shutouts, third most in Eagle history. The defense held opponents to three or fewer shots in seven matches and to one or no shots-on-goal six times. Racine scored her first collegiate goal against Rhodes College to tie the game in the 85th minute sending the game to overtime where the Eagles would win. Racine earned Emory Defensive Athlete of the Week Honors after the defense held Washington University (Mo.) to just three shots in Emory's 1-0 win to open UAA play.

"I came to Emory because I wanted to play competitive soccer and receive a great education. Playing for the team has allowed me to travel across the country and become close with a great group of players. There's no where else I would rather be!"
