Jennifer Dervarics was a lethal striker on some of the very best teams in Bucknell women's soccer history. Dervarics was selected as the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year as a junior and senior, she was a three-time All-Patriot League selection (twice First Team, once Second Team), and she made the All-Mid-Atlantic Region squad following her senior campaign.

Dervarics recorded 12 goals and six assists in both her junior and senior years, and she was the Patriot League's leading scorer in 2008. She graduated with 91 career points on 36 goals and 19 assists. Each of those totals ranked third in school history at the time of her graduation.

During her Bucknell career, Dervarics helped the Bison to the 2005 Patriot League Tournament title and the second NCAA Tournament appearance in team history. The Bison also captured Patriot League regular-season titles in 2006 and 2007, and in Dervarics' four years at Bucknell, the squad posted a 45-28-6 overall record and a 20-7-1 mark in league play.

A native of Emmaus, Pa., Dervarics was also a CoSIDA Academic All-District and NSCAA Scholar All-East Region selection. One of the league's top athletes despite her small size, Dervarics also served as an emergency goalkeeper for a few games during her junior year, and she had a brief stint with the Bison women's basketball team.

After graduation, Dervarics played professionally with the Philadelphia Fever before joining the coaching ranks.
