BOSTON - Graduate student Lisa Kevorkian has been named to the NSCAA Division I All-America Fourth Team, as announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Kevorkian along with four other Terriers were also named to NSCAA All-Northeast Region teams.
Kevorkian is the fifth Terrier to earn All-America accolades and the second one in as many years. The Arcadia, Calif., native came to BU after a great career UC-Berkley and with one year of eligibility remaining joined a Terrier squad that had previously won three-straight America East championships. With the help of her offensive prowess the squad went on to earn its fourth consecutive title and appear in its sixth-straight NCAA tournament.
In her first season as a Terrier, Kevorkian has made a lasting impression as she netted 14 goals and 7 assists for 35 points to rank third in the BU annals for single-season goals and points. Additionally, in just one season with BU, her 35 career points places her 16th among the program's all-time scorers.
In addition to her All-America status, Kevorkian was named to the 2010 NSCAA Division I All-Northeast Region Team. Seniors Corie Halasz and Shauna Kelleher and junior Jessica Luscinski were named to the second team and junior Lina Cords was placed on the third team.
Luscinski, the 2010 AE Striker of the Year, has been a major contributor ever since arriving on campus in fall of 2008. An All-Rookie Team selection that year and an All-Conference First Team selection in 2009, Luscinski finished the 2010 season ranking second in America East with 31 points and 12 goals. Her seven assists ranked second. She also has 56 career points, which ranks her eighth all-time among BU scorers.
Halasz, the 2010 AE Defender of the Year, led a defense that ranks eighth nationally with a 0.52 goals-against average and is third with 13 shutouts. Halasz, who had a goal and three assists this season, was an All-Conference First Team selection in 2006 and 2010 and has battled back from injury to regain her all-conference form.
Kelleher served as the field general from the defensive midfield position for the Terriers and went on to claim the 2010 AE Midfielder of the Year honor. An All-Conference First Team choice for the past two seasons, Kelleher has three assists this season and has played a significant role in BU's league-leading scoring offense (2.27 gpg). The Terriers have won 51 of the 78 career games she has played.
For Cords, this season has marked a return to form for the 2008 All-Conference First Teamer. After missing the 2009 campaign due to injury, Cords has not missed a beat on the backline, helping the Terriers to its record-setting 13 shutouts and 0.00 GAA in conference play.
