Caldwell University Athletics Hall of Fame
Kristee Paknis led the Cougar women’s soccer team in scoring and made the all-CACC team in all four of her seasons at Caldwell. A skilled offensive midfielder, she ranks second all-time at Caldwell in goals (33), assists (21) and points (87). As a senior in 2008, Paknis was named to the all-Region and all-CACC first teams after registering 30 points on 12 goals and six assists.
“I really enjoyed my time playing soccer at Caldwell,” said Paknis. “I am so thankful for the all the crazy memories and for my coaches and teammates who will remain my lifelong friends. Watching the program grow from a team of 11 struggling to win games to witnessing them, in 2013 when my sister was playing, win the CACC tournament is unforgettable.”
Paknis is currently working as a ninth grade biology teacher and is a successful head girls soccer coach for the past seven years at Central Regional High School with a 95-34-33 record. She resides in Little Egg Harbor, NJ with her husband Scott Moore Jr. and are expecting a son due in December 2015.
