Senior Lynnette Reitz was named to the PSAC West First Team for her strong efforts on the field this season in achoring the Haven's defense.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Six members of the Lock Haven University women’s soccer team earned All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West honors the conference office announced today.

Senior defender Lynnette Reitz (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville) led the way and was named to the First Team while five other Lady Eagles earned second team selections.

Reitz, a second team selection in 2005 started all 19 games for LHU, leading a defensive unit that produced a 1.65 goals-against-average. Always deadly off set pieces, Reitz chipped in offensively with two assists on the year.

Seniors Emily Wagner (Brick, N.J./Brick Township), Colleen Kafka (Candor, N.Y./Candor), Kyleigh Roth (Elysburg, Pa./Southern Columbia) and Bekah Stonecypher (Johnstown, Pa./Westmont Hilltop) all earned PSAC West second team accolades.

Wagner, a 2005 second team selection was a brick wall on the back line for the Lady Eagles making spectacular save after save during key times for the Haven. This season she recorded a 1.65 GAA, with 123 saves while recording five shutouts.

Wagner’s 123 saves this season are the second most during a single season on the Haven’s record books. They also stretch her career mark to 331, which is the all-time mark for the Lady Eagles.

Kafka paced Lock Haven offensively with a team-high nine goals. The senior forward had three two-goal games and three game-winning tallies.

Roth, a speedy and athletic player provided an endless work ethic from her outside midfield spot. The Lady Eagles senior-captain started all 19 games, while scoring two goals to go along with three assists (seven points).

Stonecypher, a second team selection last year was a key contributor in the Haven’s midfield this year. She started all 19 games for LHU and recorded four points, one goal and two assists.

Also earning a spot on the second team was freshman Arielle Gordon (Ephrata, Pa./Ephrata). She had a strong rookie campaign, netting four goals to go along with four assists in 18 starts.
