Flagler College Athletics

Charlene Nowotny of the women's soccer team was selected as the recipient of the Total Package Award for the 2019 fall sports season.

The award is presented on a seasonal basis to the student-athlete who excels in each of the following: athletics, academics, character, sportsmanship, personal fitness and community involvement.

"Charlene fully deserves to be recognized with this award," said head coach Ashley Martin. "With her ability, passion and loyalty, Charlene has helped put Flagler women's soccer on the national map. She performs both on the field and in the classroom, and has led the team with distinction." 

Nowotny was an integral part of the success of the 2019 Flagler College women's soccer team. The senior midfielder from Marburg, Germany scored 10 goals and broke a school record with 20 assists for a total of 40 points to help the Saints to a NCAA Division II final four appearance. Flagler finished with a school record in wins (23) and they won the Peach Belt Conference regular and post-season titles as well as claiming the NCAA Division II Southeast Region title at Saints Field. She was a D2CCA All-America first team selection, a United Soccer Coaches and D2CCA All-Southeast Region first-team member, and a first-team all-conference pick this fall.  

Academically, Nowotny received the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year, the most prestigious academic award in Division II college soccer. She was a first-team Academic All-American along with earning Academic All-District III honors. Nowotny also earned academic all-conference honors.

Her community service projects have included volunteering at the St. Augustine 10K, cleanup of two hurricanes, mentoring of incoming student-athletes, and she was a recipient of the Women of Vision scholarship.
