UConn's top fall athletes

This is day four of five of our countdown of UConn's top fantasy sports performers. For Kevin Duffy's scoring system, please see page 13.

10. Rebecca Murray, sophomore, volleyball

Fantasy Points: 73 (270 kills, 81 digs, 108 blocks)

"Murray got off to a slow start in her sophomore campaign, but picked things up towards the end of the season. Physically, there aren't many Big East players with her ability. She has the length and athleticism to be a serious problem for the rest of the conference next season." - Sports Editor Kevin Duffy

Getting to know Rebecca Murray:

Favorite UConn team to watch (besides volleyball): "Women's basketball because those girls are the top athletes in the country and carry themselves on and off the court as role models. They really have the whole package in terms of representing UConn athletics."

Favorite things to eat at the Student Union: Pasta, the macaroni and cheese and the breakfast sandwiches.

9. Stephanie Labbe, senior, women's soccer

Fantasy Points: 75 (116 saves, six shutouts)

"Stephanie Labbe has been a fixture between the posts for the Huskies since she arrived in Storrs in 2005. This year, her vocal leadership and experience playing with the Canadian national team at the Beijing Olympics helped a young UConn defense rebound from its early struggles and finish strong." - Women's soccer beat writer Dennis Rizzo

Getting to know Stephanie Labbe:

Highlight of her career: "Upsetting No. 1 Stanford at Stanford last year in the Sweet Sixteen to move us to the Elite Eight. It was an unbelievable feeling to go to the No. 1 team and beat them on their own turf."

Her trip to the Olympics with the Canadian National Team: "It was amazing just walking around and seeing all these famous athletes. I saw Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Usain Bolt, Yao Ming, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant. Those were some of the most famous guys I saw, definitely was most star struck by Ming and Federer. I had heard so much about them, and to finally see them in person, and to see them constantly surrounded by media just showed how talented and respected they are."

8. Josh Ford, sophomore, men's soccer

Fantasy Points: 91 (75 saves, 11 shutouts)

"While the men's soccer team struggled to score goals this season, Ford was the one who kept them in games. Ford started every game for the Huskies and finished second in the Big East with a .56 goals against average. He only gave up more than one goal once in the regular season, when he surrendered three at St. John's, and was twice selected Big East goalkeeper of the week." - Men's soccer beat writer Kevin Vellturo

Getting to know Josh Ford:

The role his brother, former UConn soccer player Stanley Ford, played in his decision to come to UConn: "My bother's career played a little role in my influence to coming to UConn. But it was more of the program itself. UConn soccer has been a top contender in the Big East for many years and always makes it pretty deep into the NCAA tournement. When I came to my brother's game I actually did meet with Coach Reid.

Pump-up music: "After the pre-game meal I'm usually just listening to my iPod while getting ready for the game. Then after our pre-game talk I listen to two specific songs both being Lil Wayne, the one song is 'Oustanding' and I listen to that while I walk onto the field and the other is 'Apologize'. Once I listen to those two songs I'm pretty focused and ready for the match."

7. Joe Goldstein, junior, men's tennis

Fantasy Points: 96 (Eight 1st singles wins)

"Goldstein emerged in a big way for coach Glenn Marshall and the Huskies. The junior from Tucson, Ariz., will look to take even bigger strides in the spring, when UConn tennis starts its 'official' season." -Duffy

Getting to know Joe Goldstein:

Growing up in Tucson, Ariz: I am a huge Arizona Wildcats fan. I'm not too impressed with the basketball team's start, but I have confidence they will put it together and make a run at the tourney like they do every year."

Weirdest thing coach has said to him: "A 'that's what she said' joke. Although funny, his timing was a little suspect."

6. Cody Brown, senior, football

Fantasy Points: 102 (47 tackles, 10 sacks, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one blocked kick)

"Brown has criticized The Daily Campus-myself in particular-for 'dogging him' in a story this year. Now is where I take the time to set things straight with the star defensive end. Brown has put together one of the most productive seasons-on any side of the ball-in UConn football history. His non-stop motor made him the Huskies' best special teams player as well as top defensive standout. He'll surely hear his name called in this April's NFL Draft."-Duffy
