AMHERST, N.Y. - Junior forward Jamie Boyar (Williamsville, N.Y.) of Daemen College has been named to the United Soccer Coaches All-East Region Second Team following a vote of the region's head coaches. It marks the second regional honor for Boyar who earlier this month was also named to the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) Women's Soccer All-East Region Second Team. 

A first team All-East Coast Conference selection, Boyar was the undoubted offensive catalyst for Daemen this season. She scored 20 goals and registered 43 points, finishing the regular season as the ECC leader in both. Her goal total established a new team record for a single season, surpassing Kim Walker's mark of 19 set in 2005, and it placed Boyar among the national leaders.

Boyar opened the season by scoring four goals in the first five games, including game-winners against Bloomfield College and Shepherd University. Her season kicked into high gear on September 15 when she scored all three goals - including the game-winner in overtime - in a 3-2 win over Molloy College. It marked the first three-goal game of Boyar's career. It wouldn't be her last.

She got on the scoresheet again with a pair of goals, including another overtime tally, in a 3-2 road win against longtime rival Roberts Wesleyan College on September 22. A week later, she scored Daemen's first goal in a 2-1 victory over N.Y. Institute of Technology, a win that would later prove pivotal as the Wildcats' edged NYIT by one point for the fourth and final conference tournament berth. 

After a pair of scoreless outings to start October, Boyar broke through again, scoring all three goals in a 3-0 shutout victory over Queens College on October 10. The highlight of the season came on October 17 when she notched five goals, two assists and 12 points in a 9-1 road win at ECC newcomer Lincoln University. The offensive outburst marked the most goals and points for any Division II player in a single game this season. She went on to record two goals in the regular season finale, a 6-0 road win at Chestnut Hill College, marking her fifth multi-goal game of the season.

Her efforts helped Daemen to an 8-8-1 overall record, including a 5-4-0 mark in East Coast Conference play which earned the Wildcats their first-ever bid to the ECC Championship tournament. The five ECC wins are the most for Daemen since joining the league back in 2013, and the Wildcats have won at least eight games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since doing so in four straight seasons from 2010-13.   

Boyar has appeared in and started all 50 games that the team has played over the last three seasons. For her career, she's totaled 37 goals, 10 assists and 84 points. She ranks second in goals and third in points among Daemen's all-time leaders. The Wildcats are 17-5-1 when she scores, and .9-0-0 when she scores more than once.
