LANCASTER, Pa. — Highlighting their inaugural season in the Atlantic East Conference, the Pratt Institute women's soccer team had its three captains receive All-Conference accolades as Kat Thomsen was named to the First Team and Siena Sujitno and Anna Wilson were named to the Second Team, announced by the league office this morning.
Thomsen scored nine goals this season that placed her fifth in the league and she currently ranks in the top 100 in the nation in goals per game (.64, 87th) and points per game (.1.50, 100th). The junior netted the game-winning goals in both of Pratt's conference wins over Immaculata University and Centenary University. She finished with a quartet of braces, scoring twice against St. Joseph's University (Brooklyn), City College of New York, SUNY Delhi, and Immaculata. It is her second All-Conference selection after being named to the All-Coast-to-Coast Conference Second Team in her rookie season.
Sujitno closed out her senior campaign with six goals and two assists, ranked tied for 14th in the conference in total goals scored. She scored in four of the five victories this season finding the back of the net against St. Joseph's, Old Westbury, twice against CCNY and Centenary and netting the lone goal against eventual league-champion Neumann University. The senior, who leaves with 51 career goals to her credit, also handed out a pair of assists in the 3-2 conference win over Immaculata. Sujitno earns All-Conference recognition for the second straight year after receiving All-C2C Second Team praise last year.
Wilson earns her first All-Conference award after anchoring the Cannoneer back line. The senior started in all 15 games and logged a team-high 1337 minutes as the team's centerback. Wilson played an integral role in the defensive unit as a senior captain that led by example from crunching tackles, towering headers, to penetrating passes. Her contributions are often not recognized on the stat sheet but her consistent performances and efforts in the team's victories over Immaculata and Centenary earned her conference recognition.
The Atlantic East Conference awards are voted on by the league's seven head coaches.
