Butler County Community College’s only two-time All-American in golf and its all-time leader in volleyball assists will be recognized as 2021 inductees into BC3’s Charles W. Dunaway Pioneer Hall of Fame.
Stefan Carlsson and Nicole (Sebastian) Bajuszik will join 14 others in BC3’s 6-year-old hall. Carlsson’s and Bajuszik’s accomplishments will be celebrated at a BC3 ceremony in 2022.
Carlsson was selected as a National Junior College Athletic Association Division III All-American in 2014 and in 2015. He is one of four BC3 student-athletes to have twice been named an NJCAA Division III All-American since 1971.
He qualified for the NJCAA Division III national tournament in Chautauqua, N.Y., in each of his spring seasons with BC3. Golfers who place in the top 18 of the four-round tournament become All-Americans.
Bajuszik recorded 1,360 assists as a setter who helped lead the Pioneers to a combined 48-12 record over two seasons and a national fifth-place finish in the 2002 NJCAA Division III tournament in Minnesota.
Carlsson was also the medalist in leading the Pioneers to the Pennsylvania Invitational Tournament championship in fall 2014 and to the NJCAA Division III Region 20 crown in spring 2015. He was named to the NJCAA Division III Region 20 all-tournament team in 2014 and in 2015.
Carlsson is employed by Oakmont Country Club in Plum.
Bajuszik was a member of BC3 teams that won two Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference crowns, two NJCAA Division III Region 20 titles and two Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association state championships.
Bajuszik was twice named to the WPCC all-conference squad and to the NJCAA Division III all-Region 20 team. She was selected to the NJCAA Division III Region 20 all-tournament squad and to the PCAA all-state team.
Bajuszik earned an associate degree at BC3, then transferred to La Roche University, where she also played volleyball and ranks third in assists. Bajuszik has been head coach of La Roche’s women’s volleyball team since 2012 and was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference coach of the year in 2014.
Bajuszik lives in Saxonburg and is a 2000 Seneca Valley High School graduate.
Carlsson and Bajuszik will join 2020 inductees Hal
Koenemund and Tracy Pease in the college’s 2022 induction ceremony.
Koenemund set BC3 records in men’s basketball with 55 points in a game and with 918 points in a season. Pease won a PCAA title in women’s singles tennis at BC3.
Twenty-three BC3 student-athletes have been selected for 27 All-American awards in cross-country, golf, men’s basketball, softball, volleyball and women’s basketball since 1970.
