LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Bucknell junior midfielder Evelyn Nicinski earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Third Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors on Wednesday. Nicinski, who was a Second Team All-Patriot League pick earlier this fall, was one of 10 Patriot League student-athletes to earn all-region honors.
Nicinski tied for the team lead in goals (4) and points (10) in 2013 and has developed into one of the league's top two-way central midfielders. Three of her four goals came in Patriot League competition. In a four-day span in October she tallied the second-half equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Colgate and then had the game-winner in a 1-0 road win over Lafayette. Nicinski also scored goals against Lehigh and Mount St. Mary's, along with assists against Towson and Loyola. The Bison finished 5-0-1 this season when she registered a point.
Nicinski, who was also named to the Patriot League All-Academic Team this year, missed some time with the Bison this fall while making three trips to Europe to play with the Polish National Team at World Cup qualifying.
Nicinski is the sixth player in Bucknell history to earn NSCAA All-Region honors. She joins Lisa Gibbons (1994), Savannah Rennels (2001), Nicole Marotta (2006), Jennifer Dervarics (2008) and Christa Matlack (2009).
Bucknell finished the year 7-9-2 after falling to Colgate in penalty kicks in the Patriot League Tournament quarterfinals.
