SENIOR (2012): Barczuk rounded out her career as a Buff
with a stellar senior campaign. In her final season, the team-elected captain
broke numerous records. She became one of only eight players in CU soccer
history to have started at least 76 of 78 games played. She joined Fran and
Laura Munnelly and Melissa Cartmell as the only Buffs to have played in every
one of the team's games during their four year tenure at CU. Her 76 starts and
78 games played rank her ninth and 12th on CU's all-time list. She also ranks
sixth with 6,849 minutes played. Barczuk netted four goals and contributed one
assist as a senior, ranking second on the team in goals, points and shots on
goal (17 off 32 shots). She also improved to 11th all-time with 124 shots
attempted in her career. Barczuk scored her first goal of the season in the
Buffs' first true road test, heading the ball off a corner kick to put CU on
the board in its 2-2 tie against Northwestern. Her assist helped even the score
in the Buffs' Pac-12 home-opener against Washington, though the Buffs fell 2-1
in an overtime heartbreaker. Barczuk connected off another corner set piece for
her second goal, in another close overtime defeat against California (3-2). She
showed her true strength as a leader, scoring two more goals in her final road
trips. The Buffs faced another overtime opportunity, tied at zero at Southern
California, and this time they capitalized as Barczuk slipped past the defense
in the final five minutes of double overtime to score her first game-winner, give
the Buffs their first ever Pac-12 road victory and earn CU Athlete of the Week
honors. Just two games later, she scored again. After several touches, Barczuk
found the back of the net against Arizona State in a hard-fought 2-1 double
overtime defeat.
JUNIOR (2011): Barczuk started all 19 games, totaling 1,553 minutes, ranking just
behind Kate Russell for most minutes played. She ranked third on CU's season
list of shots and shots on goal, with 34 and 13 respectively. She had a
career-high three goals and seven points during the season. Two of her goals
came in back-to-back games against Auburn (2-2) and California State University
Bakersfield (2-1, off a penalty kick). That week's performance earned her CU
Athlete of the Week honors. Her one assist of the season came in the team's
first game, a 5-0 win against Colorado College.
SOPHOMORE (2010): She found her role as one of
CU's leaders on the field during her second season in Boulder. She played in
all 20 of Colorado's matches logging 18 starts playing a whopping 1,822
minutes, Kate Russell was the only other Buff to see more minutes in 2010.
Barczuk finished the season with five points off two goals and an assist while
tying Russell with the most shots attempted (41). Her two goals of the season
came in consecutive home wins against Kansas (2-1) and Nebraska (2-1). Barczuk's
assist was on CU's lone goal in the 2-1 loss at Oklahoma, a Russell score 2:44
into the contest. Her 41 shots ranks 10th on CU's offensive class list for
sophomores.
FRESHMAN (2009): Barczuk was the only freshman
to start all 19 of CU's games. She logged the second most minutes played with
1,607, and she scored one goal while attempting 16 shots on the season. She
contributed one of the eight CU goals against St. Mary's when she was on the
receiving end of a corner kick for the seventh goal in the 8-1 win over the
Gaels. Barczuk's stellar freshman season performance was rewarded with spots on
the 2009 All-Big 12 Conference second team and the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team.
HIGH SCHOOL: Barczuk lettered three years in soccer at Arapahoe High
School. She led her team to the state
semifinals as a sophomore and senior, and to the quarterfinals as a
junior. Barczuk was named second-team
All-League as a sophomore, and earned first-team All-league, 5A All-State and
All-Colorado selections as a senior. On
the club side, Barczuk played for the Riverside Renegades and helped them to
three State Cup Championships in 2003, '04 and '08, and they went on to the
regional semifinals in 2004 and quarterfinals in 2009. Despite her team dropping the State Cup final
match in 2009, Barczuk was still crowned the State Cup MVP for the
tournament. From 2001-08, Barczuk and
the Renegades compiled an impressive 210-45-41 record and were league champions
(Premier I, Elite) nine out of 12 seasons.
Barczuk was also a member of the 2007 Colorado Olympic Development team,
and she was selected for the 2007 Region IV pool and eventually landed a spot
on the regional team. Her Region IV team
competed against three other regions at the 2008 Inter-Regional Camp, where she
saw action on both the U-17 and U-19 teams.
A dual-sport athlete, Barczuk also excelled on the basketball court,
lettering four years and wrapped up her prep career as a McDonald's
All-American Finalist. She was a
three-time all-state honorable mention and first-team all-league selection, and
was all-league second team as a freshman.
A heavily recruited athlete in both sports, Barczuk was recognized with
the 2008 Sportswomen of Colorado "All-Around" Award. She was a member of the
National Honor Society and was a first-team Academic All-State selection at
AHS.
IN THE CLASSROOM: Barczuk is a business major at
Colorado.
