PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Little East Conference (LEC) released its year-end major awards for women's soccer with UMass Dartmouth first year forward
Natalie Frazier named the 2025 LEC Rookie of the Year, as announced by the conference on Wednesday. Frazier becomes the fifth Corsair in program history to be named LEC Rookie of the Year which was last awarded to a UMass Dartmouth student-athlete over 30 years ago to Jill Cook in 1993.
Frazier garnered All-LEC First Team honors after a breakout rookie season for the Corsairs. In 17 games played including 16 starts, Frazier finished the year with 12 goals and one assist for 25 total points. She fired 76 totals shots with 35 on target for 46.1 on-goal shooting percentage in 2025. She also notched three game-winners for UMass Dartmouth including two in Little East Conference action.
Frazier became just the third Corsair since 2010 to tally 10-or-more goals in a single-season. Furthermore, Frazier matched the most goals scored since 2010 which was last accomplished by Erica Jonasson during the 2011 season with 12 goals.
Among the Little East, Frazier ranked second overall in the league in goals (12) and goals per game (70.6) while also being tied for second with 3 game-winning goals. She averaged 4.47 shots per game, good for third most in the conference, and sat sixth overall in total shots (76) and shots on-goal (35). Additionally, her 25 total points on the season ranked fifth most in the Little East.
Frazier recorded her first pair of collegiate goals at Elms College on August 30 to help secure the first win of the season by a final score of 4-1. On September 5 against Curry College, the rookie forward scored her second brace of the year along with her first career game-winner to lift the Corsairs over the Colonels, 2-1, from Cressy Field. Midway through the season, Frazier went on a five-game scoring streak that started at Keene State on September 20 and finished on October 11 against Eastern Connecticut State University. She recorded six games with seven-or-more shots and found the back of the net in nine of the 18 contests for UMass Dartmouth.
