HAVERFORD, Pa. – Kendra Griesman continues to rack up the postseason awards since the conclusion of the Haverford College women's soccer season. Most recently, Griesman became the first Haverford player since 2015 named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-East Region team, garnering a third-team selection.

Griesman is the 14th player in program history to receive this award which honors a student-athlete's success both on the field and in the classroom. In addition to third-team all-region and first-team All-Centennial Conference playing honors, Griesman was additionally a three-time selection to the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll while more recently being selected to the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Team.

Majoring in computer science at Haverford, Griesman was a three-time All-Centennial Conference selection throughout her career. One of six all-conference picks for the Fords this fall, Griesman started all 18 matches for the team, scoring five goals and assisting on another during Centennial Conference play. Griesman tallied the game-winning goal to go along with an assist against Franklin & Marshall for her first career three-point match. She also scored the game-winning goal against McDaniel while finding the back of the net during wins against Muhlenberg, Ursinus, and Bryn Mawr.

Despite missing her sophomore season, Griesman capped her career as one of just 10 three-time All-Centennial Conference performers in program history. Griesman started 52 of her 53 career appearances with the Fords and rarely left the pitch as she ranks among the top 20 players in school history for minutes played despite missing an entire season. Over her career, Griesman totaled nine goals and five assists.

All of Griesman's individual accomplishments follow a strong overall showing for the Fords as they advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013 via an at-large bid. Haverford finished its season with a 12-5-2 record, including a 6-2-2 mark in Centennial Conference matches. The Fords scored 2.32 goals per match for their highest average since the 2004 campaign while conceding just 0.72 per 90 minutes which ranked as the third-best mark in school history.
