WOMEN'S SOCCER PLACES THREE ON ALL-CACC TEAMS
10-30-07
CALDWELL, N.J. - Three Caldwell College women's soccer players
earned all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference accolades as the
conference announced its postseason awards today. Senior midfielder
Carla Bleiler (Galloway Twp., NJ/Absegami) and junior
midfielder Kristee Paknis (Whiting, NJ/Manchester) were named
to the all-CACC second team, while junior defender Kim Fenton
(Galloway Twp., NJ/Absegami) received honorable mention.
Bleiler has been named all-conference in each of her four years at
Caldwell, earning first team honors in 2004 and 2005, and second
team honors in 2006 and 2007. The 2004 CACC Newcomer of the Year,
Bleiler assisted on the game-winning goal by junior midfielder
Samantha Rinks (Corinth, TX/Billy Ryan) in a 1-0 victory at
Nyack in her final regular-season game. In her 76-game career,
Bleiler has totaled 54 points on 19 goals and 16 assists.
This is the third straight year Paknis has been included on the all-CACC
second team after earning the honor as a freshman and sophomore. The
team's leading scorer with eight goals and three assists for 19
points, Paknis recorded two-goal games in wins over Chestnut Hill
College and Bloomfield College this season. Off the field, Paknis is
an excellent student, earning a spot on the CACC All-Academic Team
last fall for posting a cumulative grade-point average above 3.5.
She has recorded 21 goals and 15 assists for 57 points in 57 games
at Caldwell.
Fenton made the switch to central defender this season after
spending most of her career as a midfielder. Her solid play
contributed to Caldwell's 1-0 shutout of Nyack that clinched the
seventh seed for the Cougars in this week's CACC Tournament. She has
nine points in 57 games in her career.
The Cougars (5-13) qualified for the CACC Tournament for the third
time in four years. The team plays at second-seeded Philadelphia
University in a quarterfinal match today, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
