Women's Soccer Continues to Receive Honors; Receives NSCAA Team Academic Award

KANSAS CITY, Mo.- The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) announced their 2013 Team Academic Award winners and for the fourth consecutive year the Endicott women's soccer program has received this distinction.  The team, which has now received the award in six of the last seven seasons, put together a cumulative team Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.35.  The program's record over the last four seasons in which they have received this award is an impressive 59-26-8 overall and 32-7-3 in conference play.

The NSCAA Team Academic Award is presented to teams that earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for the previous school year, which would be the 2012-13 academic year.  Endicott concluded their 2013 season with a trip to the second round of the NCAA DIII Championships where they fell to host school Middlebury 2-1 in a tight defensive battle.  The Gulls finished the season with a 16-6-2 record overall and the program's ninth Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) title, the fifth in nine years with head coach Jodi Kenyon at the helm.  Throughout the run of four consecutive NSCAA Team Academic Awards, the Gulls have placed 22 student-athletes on the CCC Academic All-Conference teams while seeing three individuals receive CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District teams, one of which went on to earn Second Team All-American honors.  The 2013 CCC Academic All-Conference teams will be released after the conclusion of the fall semester so this figure could grow.  The team has also seen two players receive the title of CCC Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year, the most recent of which came this season as Sarah Person received this honor.
