Full CoSIDA Academic All-America Release
CoSIDA -- The 2021 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America® Women's Soccer Teams have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
Based on the absence of most fall sports competition, the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Committee revised some rules and procedures for nominating student-athletes this season. Due to the low percentage of games completed this season, the nominees were selected based on career statistics and achievements.
The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) was led by a duo of Ferris State women's soccer honorees claiming first team recognition, while Ashland garnered one second team selection and Michigan Tech earned one third team honoree.
