LEWISBURG, Pa. – Chloe Christakos and Petie Nassetta, two of the players who had a big role in Bucknell's defensive prowess this spring, were named to the All-Patriot League Women's Soccer Team on Tuesday. Christakos, a senior center back, earned a spot on the All-PL Second Team, while Nassetta, a sophomore holding center midfielder, was named to the Third Team.
The Bison played five games in this modified spring schedule, all against Patriot League competition, and they allowed a total of only two goals in 490 minutes. The team's 0.37 goals-against average is the best in the Patriot League and ranks 13th nationally.
Christakos was also a Preseason All-Patriot League selection, and she was selected as the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week after contributing to a shutout and scoring in the game's lone goal in a 1-0 win at American on March 27.
A two-year starting center back, Christakos played in 31 career games for the Bison and tallied four goals and two assists.
Nassetta emerged as a starting midfielder as a rookie in 2019, and this spring she was terrific in a defensive central midfield position. She played the full 90+ minutes in each of the last four games of the season and played in 472 of a possible 490 minutes on the season.
In addition to the All-Patriot League Team, the league office also announced the major award winners on Tuesday. Army's Erynn Johns was selected as the Offensive Player of the Year. Navy's Victoria Tran was named the Midfielder of the Year. Mia Padon and Sydney Cassalia of Army were the Defensive Player and Goalkeeper of the Year, respectively. Navy defender Chloe Dawson was picked as the Rookie of the Year, and Navy's Carin Gabarra was the choice for Coach of the Year.
