FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia State's top scoring pair received two more post-season awards Monday, this time from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Both were firsts of a sort.
Sophomore midfielder Reilly Condidorio (LeRoy), right, became the first Fredonia State women's soccer player to be named First Team NCAA Division III Women All-East Region. She was a Second Team selection last year.
Senior forward Lauren Heilweil (Binghamton/Chenango Forks), left, was named Third Team All-East Region this year. It was the first time she was chosen to the all-region team.
It was the third post-season award for each woman, and the second in as many weeks. Last week, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference chose Condidorio to its First Team and Heilweil to its Second Team. Both were All-SUNYAC honorees earlier in the fall.
Condidorio and Heilweil were the Blue Devils' top two scorers for the past two seasons. Each had 10 goals last season and again this season -- the only two times in program history the Blue Devils have had two double-digit goal scorers in the same season.
In addition, Heilweil became Fredonia State's all-time leader in two scoring categories: 33 goals and 80 points. Condidorio has 20 goals and 50 points over her first two seasons.
