Golden Bear Women's Soccer Trio Land on 2024 All-Atlantic Region Teams

Bridget Curtis (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South), Dana Wentz (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley) and Caroline McDonald (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East) of the Kutztown University women's soccer team have earned the distinction of All-Atlantic Region by the United Soccer Coaches (USC).

The trio have all been here before, as it is the third time Curtis was named All-Region by the USC and second time for both Wentz and McDonald. Curtis is on the First Team, while Wentz and McDonald are on the Second Team.

Curtis concluded a decorated career in Maroon and Gold as she was also tabbed to the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division First Team and was a Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-Atlantic Region First Teamer. She was a four-year starter for KU, starting every game of her career while leading a defensive unit that recorded nine shutouts on the season while contributing three goals and two assists in 2024. Her contributions were vital in a pair of victories over Charleston (W. Va.), scoring a goal in their early season victory at Keystone Field while sending in the game-winning tally to defeat the Golden Eagles in the First Round of the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship.

Wentz was also a Second Team All-PSAC performer this season. The outside defender started all 23 games this season and started in 84 of her 85 games played in her career. Wentz scored her first career goal in a 3-1 victory over West Chester on Oct. 2. She is a three-time All-PSAC East performer.

McDonald, on the USC All-Region Second Team for the second straight season, also earned First Team All-PSAC recognition in 2024 and has been All-PSAC in all three of her seasons in Maroon and Gold. She played in all 23 games this season, making 21 starts as a forward. McDonald finished with five goals and three assists for 13 points. Her 17 career assists ranks sixth all-time in program history.

The Golden Bears capped off their season with a 12-5-6 record that included a pair of upset victories in the PSAC Championships and a 2-1 win over Charleston in the First Round of the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship.
