KUTZTOWN, PA. (November 12, 2009) – Three members of the Kutztown University women’s soccer team were named to the all-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division first team.

Sophomores Chelsea Bressler (Annville/ Annville-Cleona) and Shannon Pennock (Mansfield, NJ/North Burlington) along with junior Chelsea Deeter (Langhorne/Neshaminy) were named to the first team while freshman Kelly Rozembersky (Roxbury, NJ/Roxbury) was named to the second team. All four players have helped Kutztown enjoy its finest season in school history. The Golden Bears have set a school record for wins with 15.

Bressler, who was named the PSAC East Freshman of the Year last season, leads Kutztown in goals (10), points (24) and game-winning goals (five). Bressler has scored 20 goals during her two-year career. This is the second consecutive year Bressler was named to the PSAC East first team. Bressler scored the only goal during Kutztown’s 1-0 victory over California (Pa.) in the PSAC quarterfinals.

Pennock has scored six goals, which is third on the team. She started the season with a bang by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime to help Kutztown defeat then eighth-ranked Mercyhurst, 2-1. Pennock scored two goals each against Mansfield and Charleston.

Meanwhile, Deeter and Rozembersky have anchored a dominant defensive effort for Kutztown. They have helped the Golden Bears set a school record for shutouts in a season with 13. Deeter was an all-PSAC East first team selection last year. Deeter also recorded two assists in the Golden Bears’ 4-1 victory over East Stroudsburg in the PSAC quarterfinals. Rozembersky is one of 14 Kutztown players with at least one goal this season. She also has two assists.

Kutztown (15-5-2 overall) will host an NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional. The Golden Bears will play their first home NCAA tournament contest in school history on Sunday, November 15 at 1 p.m. against the winner of the West Virginia Wesleyan-California (Pa.) contest at Keystone Field.
