TRAFFORD, Pa. (pacathletics.org) – Sixty-one soccer players from Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) programs, including 38 women and 23 men, named to 2024 Academic All-District® Women's and Men's Soccer Teams, as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

The 2024 Academic All-District® Soccer Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes soccer honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District®, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher and be a standout on the field, competing in at least 90 percent of their team's games and starting at least 66 percent of their team's games.

For the women, three programs, including Allegheny College, Washington & Jefferson College and Westminster College, placed the maximum six on the list, while Franciscan University and Waynesburg University had five recognized. Saint Vincent College had four and Bethany College and Grove City College placed three each on the Academic All-District® list.

The women honored were also standouts on the field, as a total of 18 were All-PAC performers in the fall, while four were named to the PAC Women's Sportsmanship Team.

On the men's side, Waynesburg and Westminster had four student-athletes earn the honor, while Grove City, Thiel College and W&J had three each. Three schools placed two apiece on the list, including Allegheny, Bethany and Franciscan.

In addition to their academic achievements, eight of the 23 were All-PAC players on the field and two were also their program's representative on the PAC Men's Sportsmanship Team.
 
Academic All-District® honorees are considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Those marked with an asterisk below are CSC Academic All-America® finalists and advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced December 10, 2024.
