ROCHESTER ---
A $25,000 endowment named for a Western New
York
soccer star was dedicat-
ed Saturday at Nazareth College.
The
Angela Coniglio Women's
Soccer Fund will support the pro-

ex-
celled before her graduation
10
years ago. She died at age 30
in
1996.
Ms.

for career assists at Nazareth,
where she played softball as
well
as soccer. She grew up
in Am-
herst

number of total points in soccer, |
field
hockey, softball and junior
varsity basketball. She was named
to the school's Athletic Hall
of
Fame in 1997.
"Angela loved
Nazareth
and its
soccer team," said her father, An-
gelo F. Coniglio of Amherst, who
with his wife, Angela Y., and
son,
Angelo R. of Clarence, presented
the gift.
"This endownent will provide
a
fund to continually improve
the
program." A plaque bearing Ms.
Coniglio's name was placed in the
