The next honoree in the Misericordia Top 100 Student-Athletes of the Century countdown is #81 Nick Bressler.
He was a four-year starter on the men's soccer team and led the Cougars to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2000.
He was the MVP of that team that won a PAC title and finished 19-2 while setting the school's all-time record for wins in a season.
He was a first-team all-conference and all-region selection as a senior and ranked among the NCAA D-III leaders in assists as a senior with 11.
Despite playing his entire career as a defender, he ranks fourth in school history with 23 career assists.
He is tied for first with 85 career matches played while leading the Cougars to four straight postseason berths.
He was inducted into the Misericordia Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.
The Top 100 countdown will feature a different honoree each day through April 10, 2025.
