Harvey earned a spot on the First Team, while Stocklin and Gravish are on the Second Team. It is the third All-PSAC recognition for Harvey, who was named First Team last season and Second Team in 2021. The utility/pitcher has found most of her success in 2023 at the plate, leading Kutztown in batting average (.392), slugging percentage (.615), home runs (8) and RBIs (36). Her average and HRs both rank inside the top-10 in the PSAC. Harvey has started 47-of-49 games played this season. She also boasts a winning record as a pitcher, going 6-5 with a 3.67 ERA in 26 appearances. Stocklin was voted All-PSAC for the first time in her career and is having a sophomore surge. She leads the KU lineup in hits (61) and runs scored (42), and is second in batting average (.357), starting all 50 games in the leadoff spot, setting the tone for her team to score runs. Stocklin has three triples on the year, which is tied for ninth-best in the conference. Gravish has followed in the footsteps of last year's No. 1 starter, Bridget Bailey (Norwood, Pa./Interboro), admirably in her first real season of action. She has a 17-6 record with a 1.94 ERA in 31 appearances, making 17 starts and throwing 144.2 innings. Her 17 victories is tied for third in the PSAC and her ERA ranks fifth. Gravish has struck out 108 batters, tied for eighth in the PSAC, and opponents are hitting just .256 off the right-hander.

Kutztown University wrestling placed All-American Matthew Weinberg (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) and national qualifier Dalton Gimbor (Bernville, Pa./Hamburg) on 2022-23 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference teams. Weinberg is a repeat First Team selection after going 28-3 and placing fourth in the 184-pound weight class at the NCAA Division II Championships. The Philadelphian led Kutztown in wins, wins over nationally-ranked opponents (four), technical falls (four) and pins (14). He went a perfect 11-0 in duals, including 7-0 in PSAC matches, while racking up 52 team points for the Golden Bears. Weinberg finished runner-up at 184 in the NCAA Super Region 1 Championships, before battling back from a first round defeat at nationals to reach the consolation final and ultimately finish fourth for his first All-America honor. Gimbor, in his first year as a Golden Bear, reached the 20-win mark with a pair of victories in the NCAA DII Championships and secured a spot on the All-PSAC Third Team. The Bernville, Pa., native registered a 21-10 overall record, five pins and a team-leading five major decisions. Gimbor posted an 8-3 record in duals and went 5-2 in PSAC duals, earning 33 team points while yielding just nine. He qualified for nationals by virtue of a third-place finish in the 165-pound bracket at the Super Region 1 Championships and went on to win a preliminary round match and consolation match in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Eric Bartos of Mercyhurst claimed Athlete of the Year, while teammate Jake Niffenegger was voted Freshman of the Year. Pitt-Johnstown's Pat Pecora took home his third straight Coach of the Year honor.

Two Kutztown University student-athletes were featured on the 2022-23 All-East Coast Conference teams. Junior Chloe Sromovski (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial) was voted to the First Team while classmate Megan Hanaway (Forked River, N.J./Lacey Township) made the Second Team. The all-conference honors are the first of both Sromovski and Hanaway's careers, and mark the first time the Golden Bears have had multiple all-conference selections since 2018. Sromovski has had another terrific season for the Maroon and Gold and is coming off her first career ECC Bowler of the Week nod yesterday. The Wilkes-Barre, Pa., native is Kutztown's workhorse, having put in 500 Baker frames and 295 traditional frames --both team-highs-- heading into this weekend's conference championship tournament. She leads all Golden Bears with a 192.5 traditional average and is second in Baker frame average at 18.71. Sromovski is also tops on the team in fill percentage, strikes, spares and makable spares in both Baker and traditional play. Sromovski is the first KU bowler to earn All-ECC First Team accolades in six years, dating back to Jenn Fitts and Angela Kozma in 2017. Hanaway is enjoying the best year of her career, having developed into a team leader for head coach Angela Reynolds. She currently leads the Bears with an 18.76 Baker frame average across 398 frames and is tied for the team lead in Baker fill percentage with Sromovski at 79.6%. Hanaway, from Forked River, N.J., also sports a 175.9 traditional average. Mercyhurst captured all three major awards with Haley Youker taking Bowler of the Year, Jenna Stretch Rookie of the Year and Micahel Machuga Coach of the Year.

Kutztown University will have 27 student-athletes representing its women's lacrosse program for the 2023 season. Read the full season preview. Kutztown women's lacrosse had a competitive first year of a new regime last season under head coach Kristen Nicholson. The Golden Bears are searching for more in 2023 as they are set to begin their season this weekend. It may not have been the way they had hoped it would have gone from a wins and losses standpoint, but Nicholson was proud of how her team competed all season in her first year in charge. "I think we exceed our expectations of what I thought we would accomplish in year one," said Nicholson. "We were able to compete with the best teams in the country and go toe-to-toe with them. I think our record did not reflect what we accomplished and how much we grew. That has set us up for this season and we know that we belong in any game. Our successes will show. This season isn't about just competing anymore, it's about winning. I want this program to reach the heights that I know we're capable of reaching. We want to win more conference games than we have before. We have goals in reach, but we're going to take it day-by-day until the end of the year." KU finished the 2022 season at 4-13 overall and 1-11 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. However, eight of the losses were decided by just three goals or less, showing that the Maroon and Gold were just a couple of bounces away from a completely different season. The Maroon and Gold have four non-conference games on their schedule, including three in-a-row during the first week of the regular season. A home game with Holy Family (Feb. 25) and contests at Caldwell (March 1) and Wilmington (March 4) will give Kutztown early tests before PSAC play starts with a home game against Shepherd on March 8.

Kutztown University will have 20 student-athletes representing its women's acrobatics and tumbling program for the 2023 season. Read the full season preview. Amidst the craziness of building a foundation for her first-year program, head coach Karah Paull could finally take a step back last April and be proud of all the Kutztown University acrobatics & tumbling program had achieved. The Golden Bears went 3-3 in their inaugural season, culminating with a victory over East Stroudsburg in which KU set a season-high 219.750 meet score. There were growing pains along the way, but those were offset by strong performances that provided optimism for the level the program aims to compete at, now and in the future. Once the 2022 season concluded, Paull's focus was squarely on what she can do to help Kutztown take the next step forward. The Bears will get the chance to test themselves once again in their opening meet of 2023 when they travel to fourth-ranked Quinnipiac, Saturday, Feb. 11.

KU finished second-last in the conference in ERA and batting average. For fourth-year head coach Eric Folmar, last season is a memory he and his squad are trying to put behind them. "In our first team meeting we talked about last season for maybe five minutes before putting it behind us," Folmar said. "We're focused on this year and what we need to do to improve and put ourselves in a better position on and off the field."

The 2023 season could turn out to be another historic one for KU, looking to repeat as conference champions and be the PSACs first repeat champ since California (Pa.) won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015. The expectations are high and the ability to accomplish it is there, as the Golden Bears were picked second in the PSAC East Division preseason poll by the head coaches, and were also ranked 15th in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association preseason national poll, released last week. The defending PSAC champion Golden Bears reached the Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in program history last year--first since finishing as the national runner-up in 2013-- and registered its seventh 40-win season, finishing 40-15 overall.

Three Kutztown University field hockey players were recognized as All-Americans by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA), Friday, following one of the best seasons in program history. Graduate student forward/midfielder Rachel Dusman (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) and junior defender Sarah Gatehouse (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) earned First Team honors, while graduate student midfielder Olivia Blasone (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs) claimed a spot on the Second Team. Dusman is a repeat All-American, but moves up to the First Team for the first time in her career following Second Team honors last fall. The Chambersburg, Pa., native was the catalyst for a high-powered Kutztown offense that averaged 3.47 goals per game, third best in NCAA Division II. Dusman led the Golden Bears in most offensive categories, including goals (14), points (36), shots (90), shots on goal (52) and game-winning goals (four). Her 14 goals were a career-high and she topped 30 points in a season for the first time since 2018, when she put up a career-high 38. Dusman, who ranks seventh at KU in career points (114), finished the 2022 season fourth in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and ninth in NCAA DII with 1.89 points per game. She was a starter in all 19 games for the Golden Bears as they went 16-3, reached No. 1 in the NFHCA national rankings and claimed the PSAC's regular season crown. Gatehouse contributed on both ends of the field, enjoying a breakout campaign for the Maroon and Gold to receive her first All-America nod. A Berks County product from nearby Sinking Spring, Gatehouse had her freshman season canceled because of the pandemic in 2020. She stepped in immediately in 2021, starting and playing in 16-of-18 games, before starting all 19 this season. Gatehouse played a key role for coach Marci Scheuing on penalty corners, leading to career-highs of 10 assists and 14 points. She ranked seventh in NCAA DII in assists per game (0.53) and equaled last year's total with a pair of goals as well. Defensively, Gatehouse helped the Bears post the nation's third best goals against average (0.83) and 10 shutouts. Blasone was rewarded for her two-way play in the midfield with her first All-America honor. The graduate student from East Berlin, Pa., took a major step forward offensively this season with career-highs of eight goals and 16 points. She spread those goals over seven contests and was efficient throughout the season, leading the team and ranking seventh in the PSAC with a .421 shot percentage. Blasone registered three game-winning goals among her eight tallies and could also be counted on to help stymie the opposition's attack. In addition to having the third-best goals against average in the country, Kutztown also ranked second in shutouts per game (0.53). Kutztown, which ranked second in the NFHCA's final national poll, has three representatives on the All-America teams for the third straight season. In the program's 53-year history, 44 student-athletes have combined for 68 All-America honors.

Seniors Sadie Doss (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) and Lexi Morrow (Landisburg, Pa./West Perry) of Kutztown University women's volleyball had their names called as College Sports Communicators (CSC) Division II Academic All-District honorees, an award that recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performance on the field and in the classroom. In order to be eligible for this honor, student athletes must have been a starter or key reserve on their respective teams throughout the 2022 season, must have participated in at least 50 percent of their team's games and must have at least a 3.50 GPA. Doss, a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference First Teamer, started in 24-of-25 matches played this season and appeared in all 97 sets. She ranked second in the PSAC in kills (371) and kills per set (3.82), second in points (433.5) and third in aces (53). Her 53 aces are fourth-best in a season in program history. Doss was also second on KU with 270 digs and added 30 assists. Morrow was the facilitator for the offense as the setter and also stood out defensively for the Maroon and Gold. She started in all 25 matches and 97 sets for KU this season, finishing with career-highs in assists (843), service aces (31) and kills (35). Her 8.69 assists per set ranked fourth in the PSAC. Morrow finished her career ranked sixth all-time in program history with 2,053 career assists. Doss and Morrow are the first Golden Bear volleyball players to earn Academic All-District since 2012. The duo is now among those eligible for consideration for the Academic All-America Team that will be announced Dec. 21.

Adrianna Derstine's (Barto, Pa./Boyertown) banner first year as a collegiate student-athlete got even better Thursday afternoon, as the freshman earned a spot on the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Atlantic Region Second Team, announced by the organization Thursday. This honor comes exactly one week after the opposite hitter from Barto claimed the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division Freshman of the Year award and was voted to the All-PSAC East First Team. Derstine is the first regional all-star for KU since 2015. She is one of only two PSAC East student-athletes who made the illustrious list of first or second teamers, joining Mikaylah Hoy of Shepherd. There are only six from the PSAC on the two teams overall. Derstine started all 25 matches this season, playing in 95 sets as a freshman. She finished with the eight-most kills (401) in a season in program history and tied the KU record with 30 kills in a match. She also owns the fourth-most with 29 in a match. Derstine led the PSAC in kills and points per set (4.74). She also ranked second on the team with 51 blocks and fourth with 241 digs, while adding 19 service aces and 18 assists.

Graduate students Rachel Dusman (Chambersburg, Pa./Chambersburg) and Olivia Blasone (East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs), along with junior Sarah Gatehouse (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) earned All-PSAC First Team honors, while sophomore Juliana Donato (Cedarville, N.J./Schalick) was voted All-PSAC Third Team. Dusman is now a four-time All-PSAC performer, having received Second Team in each of her first three seasons in Maroon and Gold. Blasone, Gatehouse and Donato are all on the list for the first time each in their respective careers. It is the most First Teamers for KU since 2017, when it boasted four, tied for a program record with the 1997 quartet. A team captain, Dusman, the 2018 PSAC Freshman of the Year, has started all 18 games. She ranks fourth in the PSAC in goals with 14 and points with 36 and is also tied for third with eight assists. Dusman ranks in the top-10 in program history in career goals (44), assists (26) and points (114). Blasone, a team captain, has been stout in the center of midfield all season long. She has started all 18 games and has tallied a career-high eight goals so far this season, third-most on the team. Gatehouse has been the rock of the defense, starting all 18 games as a center back. She has a career-best 10 assists this season, which ranks second in the PSAC. Gatehouse also has scored two goals. She has been the PSAC and NFHCA Defender of the Week twice this season. Donato is like a magician when she has the ball on her stick. She is a creator for the offense and her seven assists is tied for eighth in the PSAC. Donato also does a lot of the dirty work in creating penalty corners for KU. It is Scheuing's second PSAC Coach of the Year, also winning it in 2015. She has led Kutztown to 16 regular season wins thus far, second-most in a regular season in program history. The 16 victories so far also rank third-most in a season at KU.

The Cresco, Pa. native is a team captain and a five-year member of the Golden Bears program. She's been a superstar on an off the field for Erik Burstein's squad ever since she stepped on campus in 2018. So far in 2022, Argen has notched a career-high 26 points and leads the team in goals (8) and assists (10).

Kutztown University will have 30 student-athletes representing its field hockey program for the 2022 season. Read the full season preview online Kutztown University field hockey has been on one of the more successful runs in program history over the last three seasons. KU is two seasons removed from a 15-win, 2019 season, which included a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference runner-up finish and a trip to the NCAA Division II Final Four. Under nine-year head coach Marci Scheuing, the Golden Bears have qualified for three consecutive PSAC postseason tournaments. Before that run, the Maroon and Gold made the big dance once since 2010. The 2022 program is well positioned to continue the winning trend and compete for its first ever PSAC and NCAA championship. Kutztown had six players exhaust eligibility or move on following the 2021 campaign, but there is a large number of experienced returners back to lead the way. Kutztown opens its 2022 regular season with four consecutive home games. KU will be hosting a four-team tournament and will open with Saint Michael's on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 11 a.m., at Andre Reed Stadium. The Maroon and Gold will then play Southern Connecticut State the following day at 1:30 p.m.

Kutztown University has announced 105 student-athletes will represent its football team for the 2022 season. Read the full season preview here. Following the most successful season in program history, Kutztown University football is ready for an encore performance in 2022. It was a banner year for the Maroon and Gold in 2021, winning 11 games for the second consecutive season, capturing the program's second PSAC championship and advancing to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals.

The two-time reigning AFCA Region 1 and PSAC East Coach of the Year guided the Golden Bears to winning records in each of his previous seven seasons at the helm and has 14 winning seasons in 15 overall going back to his time at Division III Delaware Valley (2006-13). The Golden Bears are ranked 13th in the AFCA Preseason Top 25 and 14th in the D2Football.com Preseason Top 25. Kutztown opens its 2022 campaign on the road at Assumption University on Saturday, Sept. 3, at noon.
