9-29-08
CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College senior midfielder Kristee Paknis
(Whiting, NJ/Manchester) was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference Women's Soccer Player of the Week for the week ending
Sept. 28, the league announced today. Paknis scored six goals in a
win and a tie in two conference games last week.
Paknis started her prolific week with four goals in a 5-0 victory
over Felician College on Wednesday, Sept. 24. The performance set a
new school record for goals in a game and tied for second all-time
on the CACC single-game record book. Then on Saturday against
Georgian Court University, Paknis scored the first goal of the game
after dribbling through several defenders and beating the Lions'
goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead. After Georgian Court came back to lead
3-2 late in the game, Paknis blasted a free kick from 20 yards out
into the goal to tie the game with just 21 seconds left in
regulation. The game ended in a 3-3 tie and left Caldwell with a
1-1-1 conference record.
Through eight games this season, Paknis has a team-leading eight
goals and one assist for 17 points. This is the third CACC Player of
the Week honor for Paknis, a three-time all-CACC selection who
earned the conference's top weekly honor on Oct. 10, 2005 and Oct.
16, 2006.
Paknis and the Cougars (1-6-1 overall) host Dominican College on
Thursday, Oct. 2 in a CACC contest. The game is scheduled to start
at 3:30 p.m. at Caldwell Field.
