Lucky 7's

Weird information here...

7's in a Jersey number have been good for UCWS lately.

Four of the past five seasons the leading goal scorer has worn a number with a 7 in it

2007 and 2008 - Annie #7

(In 2007 on the UCONN Men's side O'Brian White lead all of Division I in goals wearing number 7)
(In 2008 Nela lead Division II in goals wearing number 7)

2010 Nela #77

2011 Danielle #7

The last four times UCONN beat a team from the ACC a player wearing a number with a 7 in it scored first. Sarah Stanczyk #77 vs BC (Exhibition 2008) Meg #17 vs Wake in 2009, Danielle #7 vs BC (Exhibition 2011) Danielle#7 vs Wake in 2011

In 2010 and 2011 the first goal and regular season goals were scored by a player with a 7 in it.  2010 (No exhibition goals) Regular Season Siena Meg #17, 2011 Exhibition BC Danielle #7, 2011 Regular Season Northeastern Julie #17 

The last time UCONN beat a Number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament players with 7's scored (Meg #17 and Annie #7 at Stanford)

The last two times UCONN advanced on PK's the winning kick was struck by a player with a 7 in their jersey number (Meg #17 vs BC in 07 and vs WVU in 08)

And I'd say that there is a very good chance that a number with a 7 in it leads the team in goals for the next three years...

The all-time leading goal scorer at UCONN wore #17...I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing she lead the team in goals scored for several years.  

Britton Arico wore #7 and with 41 goals is 10th all-time in UCWS goals. 

Just saying, jersey numbers with a 7 in it appear to be a good idea. 

Plus Annie #7, Julie #17, Sam #27, Nela #77 have also all had 4.0 GPA's at one point, if not multiple times.   

Just saying, numbers with 7's are a good idea. 

Can't wait for someone to request #57.  Maybe they can have a multi-polar personality and come in 57 Varieties, or could be a ketch-up lover...or Johan Santana lover.
