Ewing, NJ… The College of New Jersey women’s soccer team was well represented when the National Soccer Coaches Association of American dished out their post-season honors as two Lions were named NSCAA/adidas Women’s NCAA Division III All-Americans. In addition to the All-America citations, TCNJ had five players selected All-Mid-Atlantic Region.

Senior Dana DiBruno (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) reeled in All-America honors for the third straight year as the midfielder in addition to the Mid-Atlantic First Team. She was previously a 2005 First Team All-America and last season earned a spot on the second team. Earlier this season, the Lion standout was named the 2007 New Jersey Athletic Conference Midfielder of the Year and All-NJAC First Team.

DiBruno, who was the 2004 NJAC Rookie of the Year and the 2005 NJAC Offensive Player of the Year, finished the season 14 goals and eight assists for 36 points leaving her as the program’s all-time leading scorer. She capped her career with 137 points on 55 goals and 27 assists and she also ranks second in career goals and fourth in assists.

Senior defender Courtney Krol (Howell, NJ/Howell) was named a third team All-America marking the second straight year she has been honored. In 2006, Krol was a first team honoree. In addition to the national honor, Krol was also named Mid-Atlantic First Team and was the 2007 NJAC Defensive Player of the Year marking the third straight year she has claimed that award and was All-NJAC First Team.

Krol contributed at both ends of the field for TCNJ scoring four goals and adding seven assists, while anchoring a defensive unit that has allowed only six goals in 22 games with 18 shutouts. The Lions ranked first nationally in goals-against-average at 0.257. In addition to her success on the field, Krol was also CoSIDA ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II College Division Second Team.

Two other Lions were named to the All-Mid-Atlantic First Team as junior Jamie Kunkel (Mt. Laurel, NJ/Lenape) and sophomore Briann McDonough (North Arlington, NJ/Immaculate Heart Academy) earned the honor for the first time.

Kunkel finished the season as the team’s leading scorer with 17 goals and six assists for 40 points with all three of those numbers being career highs. Those 17 goals were the third best total for a single season in program history and her 40 points ranks fourth. The forward was also an All-NJAC First Team selection.

McDonough was another key component to TCNJ’s offense as the forward finished third on the team in scoring with 32 points on 10 goals and 12 assists. McDonough led the NJAC in assists and set career highs in every offensive category, while being named All-NJAC Second Team.

The final Lion honored was goalie Jessica Clarke (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Valley) as she was named All-Mid-Atlantic Third Team. The 2007 NJAC Goalkeeper of the Year and All-NJAC First Team pick led the nation in goals-against-average at a mere 0.238 a game and was 13th in save percentage at .891. She finished the year with a 21-1-1 record with 12 solo shutouts and six more combined.

The Lions finished the 2007 campaign with a 21-1-1 record and advanced to the NCAA Division III semifinals for the third straight season. TCNJ also won its third straight NJAC Championships winning the conference tournament following an 8-0-1 conference mark during the regular season.
