She had a goal and an assist in 1,914 minutes, helping solidify CU's defense that posted a 1.04 GAA. She earned an assist in CU's season-opening 2-1 win over Vanderbilt on Aug. 26. She also scored CU's only goal in a 1-1 draw with Wyoming on Sept. 4. Regan played 90+ minutes in 16 games.

JUNIOR (2004): Regan played all but three games in ’04 due to injury, sitting out the Air Force match with a left ankle sprain and regular season Texas A&M and Texas weekend with a right ankle sprain. She started all but two of the 20 matches she’s played in her junior season, playing all but 143 minutes in those contests. Her three assists on the season are fourth on the team in the category. She had the second assist on Ashlie Mihalcin’s game-winners at Wake Forest and at Iowa State and had the serve on Jen Thais’ score against Northern Colorado. She netted the second latest regulation score in CU history as her first career goal, a dramatic score, with eight seconds left against Missouri in the Big 12 Tournament opener, and forcing overtime which CU eventually won on a penalty kick.

She had 14 shots on the season, mostly off headers off the far post on corners. Her visibility in the backfield earned her second-team All-Big 12 recognition by the league’s coaches and a spot on the NSCAA/adidas All-Central Region’s third team.

FRESHMAN (2002): After starting the first five games of the season in the backfield, Regan came off the bench in 13 of the last 14 games for Meghan Swanzy and contributed six shots.
