Teague Selected as Sussex Woman of the Year
Rachel Teague has been selected as Sussex County Community College's 2025 Woman of the Year. Each year, Region XIX hosts a National Girls and Women in Sports Woman of the Year event to recognize leadership, athletic, and academic success. In 2026, Sussex proudly selected Rachel as its Region 19 representative for Women in Sports at the event hosted by Middlesex College in February.
Rachel has a true passion for athletics and a deep belief in the power of sports to build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. She takes pride in helping student-athletes grow both academically and personally, and through her work in intercollegiate athletics, she has seen the lasting impact that teamwork, discipline, and leadership can have on young women's lives. Rachel is committed to creating positive, inclusive experiences for student-athletes while advocating for equity and opportunity in collegiate sports. Her dedication and encouragement continue to inspire those around her to pursue their goals with confidence and purpose.
Head Coach Jamie Borger added, "Rachel Teague is the kind of leader every coach hopes to have once in their career. On the field, she is a captain who leads with confidence, humor, and a genuine team-first mindset—she has a way of bringing people together, lifting spirits, and making everyone around her better. Her emotional intelligence is unmatched; she knows when to push, when to listen, and how to support her teammates through both success and adversity. Off the field, Rachel's leadership extends even further. As an active Army Reserve member and a criminal justice major, she demonstrates discipline, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to service. She leads in the classroom with the same focus and accountability she shows in competition. Rachel sets the standard in every space she enters, and she represents what it truly means to be a female leader. She is not only an exceptional athlete and student, but a remarkable human being—and an absolute privilege to coach."
