DURHAM, N.C. - Six Duke women's soccer players earned Soccer Buzz All-Southeast Region accolades as well as Carolyn Ford and Carmen Bognanno have been named to the NSCAA/adidas South Region Scholar Athlete All-America team. Bognanno was selected second team, while Ford earned third team Scholar Athlete All-America honors.
For the first time in their careers, Ford and Bognanno earned Scholar All-America honors after performing well on the field and in the classroom. Ford, a native of Bethesda, Md., collected a 3.411 grade point average and was also a NSCAA/adidas All-Region selection. The 5-8 center back led the Duke defense to 12 shutouts on the season, while starting all 23 contests. Ford collected two goals and 10 assists for 14 points on the year. Her 10 assists ranked tied for seventh in the ACC. For her career, Ford owns 19 assists which ranks fourth on Duke's all-time list.
Bognanno compiled a 3.423 grade point average and started 21 of 23 contests for the Blue Devils. A 5-8 junior product of St. Louis, Mo., Bognanno registered one goal and one assist, including the game-winning goal against the University of Miami. Both Bognanno and Ford are junior's majoring in psychology.
Earning Soccer Buzz All-Region honors included Casey McCluskey (first), Katie Seibert (first), Rebecca Moros (second), Ford (third), Lorraine Quinn (All-Freshman) and Allison Lipsher (All-Freshman). Head Coach Robbie Church was also named the runner-up for the Southeast Region Coach of the Year, which was given to Central Florida's Amanda Cromwell.
The 5-6 native of Springfield, Va., McCluskey finished with 16 goals, eight assists, 40 points and nine game-winning goals. Her 40 points tied the Duke single-season record and her 16 goals was two shy of the team mark. She was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year in 2004, while ranking second in the ACC in goals scored (16), led the ACC in points (40) and led the ACC in game-winning goals (9). McCluskey set Duke records with two or more goals scored in four straight games; six straight games with at least one goal scored and tied the single-game record with three goals against Davidson.
For her career, McCluskey finished with 40 goals and 95 points, which both rank second on Duke's all-time list. Her 15 career assists also ranks tied for seventh on the Blue Devil charts. The honor for McCluskey marks the third time she has been named to the All-Region first team and fourth year in a row she has earned All-Region honors, as she was named to the second team in 2003.
Earning first team accolades for the second straight year was Seibert, a native of Downingtown, Pa. One of the top scoring defenders in the nation over the last two years, Seibert notched three goals and seven assists for 13 points for the Blue Devils in 2004.
Moros had a breakout season for Duke as a sophomore scoring four goals and assisting on 11 others for 19 points. A product of Larchmont, N.Y., was also named to the All-ACC second team and NSCAA/adidas All-Region third team in 2004. Her 11 assists this season ranked tied for fifth in the ACC.
Duke's freshman duo of Quinn and Lipsher were rewarded with All-Freshman honors after stepping in as freshman and providing an immediate impact. Quinn, a Farmingdale, N.Y., native, started all 23 contests and collected three goals, five assists and one game-winning goal. Lipsher, from Honolulu, Hawaii, started 19 games in goal for the Blue Devils and posted eight shutouts, 10 victories and a 1.19 goals against average. She set a Duke record with 516.34 consecutive minutes without allowing a goal.
After leading the Duke women's soccer team to its most victories in 10 years and guiding the Blue Devils to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, Church was named runner-up for the Soccer Buzz Southeast Region Coach of the Year. Last month, Church was named the 2004 NSCAA/adidas South Region Coach of the Year.
Church led Duke to a 15-8 overall record with a team that boasted only three seniors in 2004. The Blue Devils began the season winning two of their first four contests, but then went on an eight-match win streak that included victories over 19th-ranked Wake Forest and ninth-ranked Florida State. During the streak, the Blue Devils did not allow a goal in seven of the eight games.
In the NCAA Tournament, the Blue Devils traveled to second-ranked Virginia and upset the Cavaliers, 3-0, to advance to NCAA Sweet 16. It marked one of the biggest victories in Duke women's soccer history. Church's defense finished the season with 12 shutouts and of the eight losses on the year, five were by one goal. In the national rankings, he guided Duke to as high as ninth in the nation.
Church guided Duke to a 5-4 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) mark, which were the most league victories for the Blue Devils since the 1997 season (6).
In four seasons as head coach of the Blue Devils, Church has guided Duke to a 46-34 record and three NCAA Tournament appearances. The 29 victories over the last two years are the most since the 1994 and 1995 campaigns (31). Church has brought in top-eight recruiting classes in two of the last three years and returns 10 of 11 starters in 2005.
