Seven Soccer Student-Athletes Earn CSC Academic All-District©

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Seven student-athletes from Rutgers men’s and women’s soccer have been named Academic All-District© by College Sports Communicators. The academic distinction is reserved for a maximum of six players per team and underwent changes this year increasing athletic participation requirements.
 
Each of the Scarlet Knight soccer standouts who earned Academic All-District are now eligible for Academic All-America consideration, with the national honorees selected in early December. To be considered for Academic All-America and Academic All-District status, student-athletes must not only maintain a minimum cumulative 3.50 GPA, but must also be a starter or key reserve, competing in at least 90 percent of their team’s contests or starting in 66 percent of games (new parameters for this year). For the first time, transfer student-athletes are immediately eligible.
 
Supported by academic advisor Gilah Rosenberg, the men’s soccer awardees include Curt Calov, Cole Cruthers, Ola Maeland, and Jackson Temple. Maeland and Temple have earned the academic honor in two consecutive seasons.
 
Supported by academic advisor Randi Larson, the women’s soccer honorees are Kassidy Banks, Sara Brocious, and Giana Romano. All three teammates are repeat honorees from last season.
