"I am very excited that these three exceptional student-athletes have been recognized by the NSCAA for their academic achievements,” said James A. Ruggiero about this group of seniors. “All three are great examples of the type of individuals we have within our college and specifically our women's soccer program. With all three earning this honor as juniors and seniors it certainly is a great way for them to finish their careers."
