PEMBROKE – A testament to outstanding achievement both on the pitch and in the classroom, the UNC Pembroke soccer team sent four student-athletes to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team that was announced Tuesday.

Eugenie Amidou, Freya Lodge Whitham, Maya McDonald, and Eli Soderberg each earned the honor. 
 
To be nominated, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at her current institution. The cumulative grade point average may not be rounded up to 3.50. No student-athlete is eligible until he/she has completed one full calendar year at his/her current institution and been on a college roster in that sport for two years.
 
The announcement marked the fourth-consecutive year that UNCP has sent multiple representatives to the distinguished squad. Lodge Whitham, Amidou, and Soderberg each picked up their second career Academic All-District award.
