AMHERST, Mass. – Senior midfielder Bella Recinos of the University of Massachusetts women's soccer team earned a spot on the 2024 ECAC Division I Women's Soccer All-ECAC Second Team, as announced by the Eastern College Athletic Conference on Monday afternoon.
Recinos places her name on the All-ECAC list for the second year in a row, tabbing first team honors in 2023.
Recinos started in all 21 games for UMass this year, accumulating 1,722 minutes on the pitch. She led the team with a career-high 23 points, while also leading the Minutewomen with a career-best 10 goals. She also added three assists on the season. The senior registered a team-high 45 shots, including a team-best 25 shots on goal. The Winter Park, Florida, native, tallied a team-leading four game-winning goals on the year, tying her for second in the A-10. Her 23 points tied her fourth in the league, while her 10 goals on the year tied her for second. Recinos also ranked fifth in the A-10 Conference with 25 shots on target. The midfielder matched a career-high four points, registering her first career brace at George Washington (10/3), notching the game-winner. At Saint Joseph's (10/6), she capitalized on her first career penalty kick opportunity, and in the A-10 Finals at No. 1 Saint Louis (11/10), she tied the game up with a goal in the first half.
Earlier this season, Recinos became the first Minutewoman in program history to garner the Atlantic 10 Midfielder of the Year accolade in back-to-back years. She also became the first A-10 player to collect the award in two consecutive seasons since Nicole Waters (Dayton) achieved the feat in 2014 and 2015. She also landed on the A-10 All-Conference First Team for the second straight year and was a member of the A-10 All-Championship Team.
