LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell sophomore goalkeeper Nicole Kallis (Stevensville, Md./St. Mary's) has been named as a Player to Watch as part of Street & Smith's College Lacrosse USA Women's Division I Pre-Season All-American Teams. The 2001 Pre-Season teams were released on Monday, January 8.
Kallis, who was forced into the starting lineup during her rookie season for the injured Annie Richards (Pt. Pleasant, N.J./Lawrenceville School), was named to the All-Patriot League Second Team as a freshman. Kallis was thrust into the lineup against Ohio State and started the second game of the season against Duquesne. She proceeded to have an astounding rookie year, ranking seventh in the nation with a .624 save percentage. For the entire season, that number was tops in the Patriot League. In five conference contests, Kallis finished second in the league in save percentage. Her 174 saves contributed to a 9.77 goals against average.
The 2000 Bison squad finished the season with a 6-7 overall mark and a 2-3 record in Patriot League play. The 2001 season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, March 3, with a 12:00 noon season-opening contest at American.
