D'ORSANEO RECEIVES ALL-CACC SECOND TEAM HONORS IN WOMEN'S SOCCER
10-29-09
CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College sophomore midfielder Nikki D'Orsaneo (Bowie,
MD/Bowie) was named to the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference second team in voting by the league's 13 head coaches,
the conference announced today. D'Orsaneo leads the Cougars in
scoring this season with three goals and three assists for nine
points.
D'Orsaneo, who received all-CACC honorable mention as a freshman,
has started all 16 games for Caldwell at central midfield this
season after anchoring the back line a year ago. In a 2-1 victory at
Felician College on Sept. 29, she scored both of the Cougars' goals,
including the game-winner in double-overtime. D'Orsaneo also
assisted on the game-winning goal by senior forward Nicole
Laureigh (Lanoka Harbor, NJ/Lacey Twp.) in a 2-1 win at Post
University on Oct. 13. She also had a goal and an assist in a 2-1
victory over Goldey-Beacom College Oct. 26. A relentless ball-winner
who excels in traffic, D'Orsaneo has totaled four goals and seven
assists for 15 points in 36 career games.
The Cougars, coached by Nate Guagliardi, are 6-9-1 overall
and 6-4-1 in the CACC with one regular-season game remaining, a
conference match at Holy Family University on Saturday, Oct. 31.
