17 Soccer Players from the NE10 Earn D2CCA All-Region Honors.
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Fresh-off leading Saint Rose to its eighth all-time Northeast-10 Conference title, Nina Predanic has been named the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association Women's Soccer East Region Player of the Year – highlighting the 17 men's and women's soccer players from the NE10 to earn D2CCA All-Region honors.
Predanic, also the NE10 Player of the Year, additionally earned a nod to the All-Region First Team for the second time in her career. She is one of five Saint Rose players to be honored on the women's side.
A native of Slovenia, Predanic has enjoyed a sparkling senior campaign – leading the NE10 in goals, assists and points, while leading Saint Rose to its first NE10 Championship since 2014. The Golden Knights enter the weekend as the top seed in the East Region and will host NCAA games on Friday.
As announced by the D2CCA on Tuesday, the NE10 had nine men's players and eight women's players earn recognition. Adelphi led all teams on the men's side with three selections, including Paolo Marciano and Alessandro Corti to the First Team.
Franklin Pierce's Carlos Fernando Felis, Le Moyne's Robert Rohrhirsch and Sothern New Hampshire's Sinisa Sprecakovic also landed spots on the First Team, with Marciano and Corti. For the complete list of men's honorees, please see below.
Joining Predanic on the First Team for the women's players were two of her Saint Rose teammates – Marika Laurendeau and Deanna Trongone – as well as Southern New Hampshire's Allyson Patterson. For the complete list of women's honorees, please see below.
First Team members now advance to the national ballot as potential All-America honorees, while Predanic will be moved forward to the Ron Lenz National Player of the Year voting along with seven other Regional Players of the Year across Division II.
