Sarah Teegarden was Milwaukee's first two-time All-American and was named to the Horizon League First Team all four years of her outstanding career – one of just eight players in league history to accomplish the feat to that point.
She capped her time in the Black & Gold with an outstanding senior campaign in 2008, selected as a Third Team National Soccer Coaches of America/adidas All-American, as well as picking up a spot on the NSCAA's Scholar All-American list for her work in the classroom.
Teegarden helped Milwaukee to one of its most accomplished seasons ever that fall, going 18-3-2 and ascending the national rankings to a program-best No. 16 ranking. The team's 18 wins and .864 winning percentage were both school records, as were the teams 65 goals, 70 assists and 200 points.
In her four-year career, she helped her squad win four consecutive Horizon League regular-season titles – going a cumulative 27-1-2 in that span for a .933 winning percentage. The Panthers won three league tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament three times, playing through to the second round following both her freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Overall, the Panthers went 59-16-13 (.744 winning percentage) in her time on campus, with Teegarden starting all 86 games she appeared in during her career. It began with an impressive freshman campaign, being named Soccer Buzz Freshman All-America Honorable Mention in 2005. She started all 22 games that season, scoring 11 points on five goals while adding an assist.
The glue of the midfield in her time, Teegarden also had a knack for the dramatic, with 11 of her career 17 goals going down as game-winners. It started her sophomore year, with all five times she found the back of the net that season turning out to be game-winners, tying the school record at the time for most in a year. In fact, her 11 career winners finished tied for the career mark as well.
In 86 career games, she recorded 42 points on 17 goals and eight assists, finishing with 180 career shots attempted. Her 86-game total still ranks as the third-most appearances in program history (was first at the time), while her 86 starts remains the career standard 17 years after she graduated.
In addition to picking up academic All-American honors as a senior, she was a regular on the Horizon League Academic All-League team, as well as the NSCAA's academic all-region teams.
