CARY, N.C. – Junior forward Beata Olsson was recognized on Friday night before the College Cup semifinal as the recipient of the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Elite 90 award. A native of Enkoping, Sweden, Olsson has a 3.98 GPA in Environment and Society.
The Elite 90, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 90 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s championships.
This marks the fifth time that an FSU soccer student-athlete has received the honor from the NCAA and the fourth time in the last five years. Olsson joins Gabby Carle (2018 and 2021), Kristina Lynch (2020-21) and Kacy Scarpa (2014) as Seminole soccer players to receive the prestigious award from the NCAA. Olsson also joins softball’s Tessa Daniels (2018) and volleyball’s Amanda Sexton (2011) who have been recognized for their excellence in the classroom.
Olsson has also been a key to FSU’s success this season, tallying six goals and three assists while starting in all 22 games as the Seminoles’ center forward.
