LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) released their 2023 first and second team All-Conference members for Women's soccer on Tuesday, November 7. Senior Taylar Luckenbill and sophomore Samantha Merklin were both voted to the All-Conference second team, recognizing their great 2023 seasons.
With these two nominations, the Mountaineers tie the mark for most All-Conference athletes since 2015 and the second most since 2005.
This is Luckenbill's second time being selected for All-Conference honors and first her since 2021 when she was also voted to the second team.
In her 2023 season, Luckenbill led the Mountaineers in goals and points from the Center Back position. She also captained a back line who allowed the fewest goals in program history.
This is Merklin's first All-Conference selection. She averaged the most saves per game in the PSAC with 6.20. Merklin also recorded the second most saves in the conference this season with a total of 93 increasing her career total to 204.
