KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Marietta College senior striker Parker Bolin (Albany, Ohio/Alexander) was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Region VII second team on Thursday (Dec. 4) afternoon. He is Marietta's first all-region honoree since Dave Beattie earned third team honors in 2021. The last Pioneer to receive second team honors was Taylor Reasoner back in 2016.
 
"A historic season for Parker continues with this award," Marietta head coach Joe Bergin said. "I'm very proud of Parker and what he has been able to accomplish in his time here at Marietta. He joins a very exclusive club as he is only the eighth Pioneer in the history of the program to earn this award."
 
Bolin transferred to Marietta and made an immediate impact, scoring a Marietta single-season record 19 goals this season. He registered a pair of hat tricks along the way, even though he was the focus of double and triple team defenses all throughout the season.
 
Bolin was also named Player of the Week three times by the conference and earned All-OAC first team status at the end of the year.
 
Marietta finished the 2025 season with a 5-12-2 overall record and 2-6 in the OAC.
