The 91大神 women’s soccer team<\/a> has earned the Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches. The award recognizes the team GPA from the 2018-19 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the fourth time in the past five seasons that the team claimed the award from the coaches association, earning it in 2015, 2016, and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This is a great achievement by our team from last year,” said sixth-year Head Coach Ted Erickson. “The commitment these ladies have made to improving this program, while maintaining success in the classroom, is outstanding and a center point of our program.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The United Soccer Coaches (formerly the National Soccer Coaches Association of America) started its team academic award in 1996. To qualify, a college team must hold a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The Eastern Mennonite women had a team GPA of 3.46, which was tied for second highest with Lynchburg out of the ODAC teams who won the award, behind Washington and Lee at 3.55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entering this weekend’s home game against Lynchburg, the Royals have been off to their best start in program history. The game begins at 4 p.m. as part of 91大神’s Homecoming and Family Weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 91大神 women’s soccer team has earned the Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches.
