Council Rock North:
Attanasio lands on All-Conference Team
The Gettysburg College women’s soccer team had three players voted All-Centennial Conference Honorable Mention by the conference’s head coaches according to a release by the league office on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Senior Tara Gaston picked up her third-straight all-conference accolade, junior Sarah Yeager earned her second, and freshman Casey Attanasio, a Council Rock High School alum from Newtown, landed her first postseason distinction.
After earning first-team All-CC as a defender in each of the previous two seasons, Gaston dropped down to honorable mention following a position change on the field. As an attacking midfielder and team co-captain, she turned in her best offensive performance on the pitch, finishing second on the team with a dozen points on five goals and two assists.
A second-team all-conference selection last fall, Yeager started all 17 contests as the center back for Gettysburg’s defensive unit in 2009. She helped the squad finish top five in the Centennial Conference in nearly every defensive statistic, including fourth in shutouts (9) and fifth in goals against average (0.98). Yeager has appeared in 45 matches and has helped the team record a 0.91 goals against average.
Attanasio was one of four freshmen named all-conference this fall. She appeared in 15 matches as a forward, including 10 as a member of the starting lineup. Attanasio finished tied for the team lead with five goals, adding one assists for 11 points. Casey was third on the squad in both scoring and shots (30) and she tallied a pair of game-winning goals against Bryn Mawr and Lebanon Valley College.
Her best scoring output of the season came in her first conference affair against Bryn Mawr as she lit up the Owls for a pair of goals in the first 10 minutes of play.
Gettysburg finished 9-7-1 overall, including a 4-5-1 mark in conference play this season. The Bullets finished just outside the playoff picture, tying for sixth.
