TRAFFORD, Pa. (pacathletics.org) – A total of 93 soccer players from Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) programs, featuring 54 women and 39 men, were selected to the 2025 Academic All-District® Women's and Men's Soccer Teams, as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

The 2025 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.

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 16, 2025.

Five women's programs, including Allegheny College, Saint Vincent College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College, placed the maximum six on the list, while Bethany College and Geneva College had five recognized. Three programs, including Franciscan University, PAC champion Grove City College and Hiram College, had four and Thiel College placed two on the Academic All-District® list.

The Academic All-America® ballot will include 17 from PAC programs. All six from Waynesburg on the Academic All-District® list will be on the ballot, as will all four from Grove City. Allegheny has three moving on to the next round of voting, while Saint Vincent and W&J have two each.

The women honored were also standouts on the field, with 24 earning All-PAC recognition in the fall, while four were chosen for the PAC Women's Sportsmanship Team.


One men's program, Allegheny, had the maximum six on the Academic All-District® list, with Thiel, W&J and Waynesburg putting five apiece on the team. Following was PAC champion Grove City and Hiram with four each, Geneva and Saint Vincent with three, Franciscan with a pair and Bethany and Westminster with one. 

The Academic All-America® phase of voting will include 15 PAC men's players, including all five from Waynesburg to make the Academic All-District® team. Grove City will have four on the ballot, Allegheny and W&J and Franciscan and Thiel will have one each.

In addition to their academic accomplishments, 20 men's players were voted All-PAC players for their performance on the field and six were also selected to represent their program on the PAC Men's Sportsmanship Team.
