LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell women's soccer standout Jennifer Dervarics (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) added another honor to her still-growing heap when she was named to the NSCAA/adidas All-Mid-Atlantic Region Second Team. Dervarics, who ran away with the Patriot League scoring title this fall and was named the league's offensive player of the year for the second straight season, earned NSCAA all-region honors for the first time.
Dervarics led the Patriot League in both goals (12) and points (30) this season, when she led the Bison to a second-place finish in the regular-season standings. She exactly equaled her scoring output from last season, and her 12 goals and 30 points both rank fifth on Bucknell's all-time single-season charts.
Dervarics logged at least one goal or assist in 11 of the team's 20 games in 2008 and had four game-winning goals. She scored both the tying and go-ahead goal in the second half of Bucknell's big win over Maryland, and in Patriot League play Dervarics logged five-point games against both Holy Cross and Lafayette.
A three-time All-Patriot League selection, Dervarics now ranks No. 3 all-time on Bucknell's career charts for goals (36), assists (19) and points (91). She is one of only seven players in school history to earn all-conference honors three times.
Dervarics was one of two Patriot Leaguers on the All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team. Navy defender Shelly Moeller also made the second team. The two other forwards picked alongside Dervarics on the second team both came from the Atlantic Coast Conference: Virginia's Lauren Alwine and Virginia Tech's Emily Jukich.
Dervarics is the fourth player in Bucknell history to earn all-region honors from the NSCAA. The last was classmate Nicole Marotta in 2006.
