KUTZTOWN, PA (November 16, 2010) – Kutztown University senior defender Chelsea Deeter (Langhorne, PA/Neshaminy) and junior midfielder Carolynne Kahl (Bethel, PA/Tulpehocken) were saluted for their outstanding seasons by being named to the Daktronics Atlantic All-Region team.
The voting was powered by ATHLETICSITE.COM and conducted among sports information directors at NCAA Division II institutions that are members of the Pennsylvania State Athletic and West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conferences.
Deeter was named to the first team and Kahl earned second team recognition. They helped Kutztown enjoy another solid season. In finishing with 14 victories, the Golden Bears made their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region tournament. They are the first women's soccer team in school history to earn consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament.
Kutztown enjoyed a nine-match unbeaten streak, and was nationally-ranked during the entire 2010 season. The Golden Bears were one win shy from tying the program record for victories in a season.
This is Deeter’s second consecutive first team Daktronics All-Region selection. A four-time all PSAC first team selection, Deeter helped Kutztown record 11 shutouts this season. During her outstanding career, Deeter led the way on defense, as she helped Kutztown record 37 career shutouts. She was part of a unit that set a school record for shutouts in 2009 with 13.
This honor is the latest in a career full of them for Deeter. She was a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) all-Atlantic Region second team as a junior. As a sophomore, Deeter was named to the Daktronics all-Atlantic Region honorable mention squad.
Kahl returned to the field with a bang this season after missing all of 2009 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. She finished as Kutztown's leading scorer with 12 goals. She recorded her first career hat trick in KU's 4-1 victory over Bloomsburg, which was also the 200th victory in program history. Kahl also received the PSAC women's soccer player of the week during October. She has been clutch for the Golden Bears, recording six game-winning goals. Kahl is sixth in the PSAC in points (26) and in goals per game (0.57/game).
