All-District® Teams
EDISON, NJ – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) landed two student-athletes on the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-District Women’s Soccer Team, selected by CoSIDA. Marist College’s sophomore Jillian Colucci and Rider University’s senior Kourtney Cunningham claimed spots on the District I (Colucci) and District II (Cunningham) First Team.
Colucci finished the season with two assists and started 18-of-19 games for the Red Foxes. The New York native has a perfect 4.0 grade-point-average as a math and adolescence education major.
Cunningham earns the honor for the second-straight year. The Pennsylvania native led the team with nine goals and 21 points this season and finished her career fifth in assists (15) and sixth in both goals scored (21) and points (57) in program history. The Broncs' forward posted a 3.93 grade-point average as a health care management major. Cunningham was named to the 2018 Women's Soccer All-MAAC First Team.
Both Colucci and Cunningham advance to the Google Cloud Academic All-America ballot. First-, second-, and third-team (if necessary) Academic All-America honorees will be announced in early December.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at his/her current institution. Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games, completed one full calendar year at his/her current institution and have reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
