Grazen, a defender, was previously named First Team All SUNYAC, Third Team All Region, and was named to the All Tournament Team following the Blue Devil Classic this fall. Head coach Chris Case had this to say about his senior: "Not only does Brooke do an excellent job on the field but she excels to the highest degree in the classroom as well. Brooke is a very intelligent young woman who carries a 3.94 GPA in a very demanding and difficult major in Speech Pathology. I have always been impressed with how well she has done with her academics in such a challenging degree path. I believe her organization and time management are two skills paired with her work ethic and determination to do well as allowed her to earn such a great honor. Very proud to have her recognized for all of her hard work and represent Fredonia State in such a prestigious list of Student Athletes and Universities."]]>Brooke Grazen All Academic 2025Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:03:00 EST149395https://fredoniabluedevils.com/news/2025/12/2/general-trio-named-to-all-region-soccer-team.aspxhttps://fredoniabluedevils.com/news/2025/12/2/general-trio-named-to-all-region-soccer-team.aspxGeneral, Men's Soccer, Women's Soccer

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Gabby Irwin, Bronwyn Madden, and Brooke Grazen were all selected First-Team All SUNYAC by a vote of conference coaches, as announced by the league on Thursday. Joining the trio were Third Team selections Alyssa Sabato and Kerrigan Driskell. Grazen and Driskell are both seniors, and the other three are juniors. Madden is tied for the SUNYAC lead with 11 goals. Irwin earned her third conference honor in three years while leading the SUNYAC in assists (9) and breaking the team's all time assist record (25) with one year left to play. Grazen, a defender, helped the Devils to a 1.24 goals against average. "Her consistency from game to game and her ability not only to defend but her willingness to get forward in attack was crucial for our success," said head coach Chris Case. Sabato, a midfielder, "stepped into a critical role for us and excelled at a high level," according to Case. "As the season went on she continued to increase her level both defensively and offensively for us as she was on many occasions the catalyst to start our attack." Driskell was a part of the stingy Blue Devil defense that advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament.  Of his defenders, Case said "Brooke Grazen closed out her career with her best season to date. Her consistency from game to game and her ability not only to defend but her willingness to get forward in attack was crucial for our success. You can say the same thing about Kerrigan Driskell who consistently made life difficult for opposing forwards and also was a threat going forward for us. Both of these players at outside back did a tremendous job making it difficult to attack and beat us on the outside." The Devils finished the year with a 10-6-4 record.]]>Madden Irwin Grazen Driskell Sabato ALL SUNYAC 2025Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:42:00 EST149325https://fredoniabluedevils.com/news/2025/11/9/mens-soccer-four-named-to-all-tournament-team.aspxhttps://fredoniabluedevils.com/news/2025/11/9/mens-soccer-four-named-to-all-tournament-team.aspxMen's Soccer, Women's Soccer

For the men, sophomore Ryan Ameis and junior Thomas McDonald were named. Ameis scored the team's only goal in a 1-0 win over Plattsburgh in the First Round.

"Thomas and Ryan were integral to our victory over Plattsburgh," said head coach P.J. Gondek. "Thomas made some key second half saves and Ryan did his usual defensive work and scored the game winner. Their consistency carried over into the semifinals at Buffalo State even in the loss. To be fair these performances were typical of them throughout the entire season. Looking forward to having them both back in 2026." The women also had their goaltender, freshman Casey Fetzner, honored, along with junior Bronwyn Madden.

Gondek. "We were not at our best against Plattsburgh but we were able to defend and find a late goal.
