Massachusetts Maritime sophomore goalkeeper Katie Levesque added another accolade to her already impressive resume earlier today, as she became the first player in Buccaneer women’s soccer history to earn a spot on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tire NCAA Division III All-New England Region squad in garnering second team honors.

A native of Wilmot, N.H. and a graduate of Kearsarge Regional High School, Levesque earned first team all-Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference recognition last month for her performance during the 2013 campaign under the guidance of Head Coach Ray Cabral, as she broke her own school record while leading the league for a second straight season with 175 saves, including a school-record 27 stops against Westfield State back on October 5^th.  A second team all-MASCAC pick as a freshman, Levesque also registered a school-record six shutouts during the fall for Massachusetts Maritime and was named as the MASCAC Player of the Week on September 15^th after stopping 23 of 24 shots in a 1-1 draw at Regis on September 10^th and a scoreless tie at Anna Maria on September 12^th.  Katie was the lone MASCAC representative on this year’s NSCAA All-Region team.

Over the past two seasons, Levesque has set all of the Buccaneer single-season and career goalkeeping marks, as she has started in all 29 matches played while making 344 saves and posting seven shutouts.

Levesque helped lead Massachusetts Maritime to its highest single-season victory total in the program’s six-year varsity history this fall, as the Buccaneers posted four wins and three ties in their 15 contests this season, including a 7-0 triumph over Pine Manor on October 9^th that gave Cabral his 100^th career women’s collegiate victory.
