BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh women's soccer team has been recognized for its academic success, garnering a Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches (formally the NSCAA), as announced on Thursday. The award is for 2016-17, an academic year which saw Lehigh place 15 Mountain Hawks on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
Â
College Team Academic Award recipients are active members of the United Soccer Coaches College Services Program with a composite grade point of average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale for all players on the roster. The Mountain Hawks finished with a stellar 3.40 team GPA.
In total, 531 women's squads across Division I, II, and III received the award.
Â
Last season, current senior Amanda Stratton was named to the Academic All-Patriot League team and garnered the team's Scholar-Athlete Award at the end-of-season banquet. This fall, classmate Alyssa Riporti was named a candidate for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, an award which recognizes all-around success - on and off the field.
Â
Last spring, Stratton garnered a 3.88 GPA in Bioengineering while Sam Miller had a 3.86, Sidonie Warnecker tallied a 3.83 and Mary Casey recorded a 3.78.
Lehigh will return home next Saturday, Oct. 7 to host American at 1 p.m.
