YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University soccer team saw 10 student-athletes land on the Academic All-Mid-American Conference Team, the league office announced Tuesday, Dec. 4. A total of 114 student-athletes were named to the team, while EMU's three student-athletes with perfect 4.00 grade point averages were the most of any school in the conference.
The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average and have participated in at least 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport. Freshman and first-year transfers are not eligible for the award.
Receiving the accolade for the Eagles were: sophomore Marla Cobetto (Trenton, Mich.-Trenton), senior Mia Colavito (Mississauga, Ontario-Loyola Catholic), senior Mikayla Cupp (Ostego, Mich.-Ostego), sophomore Alia Frederick (Linden, Mich.-Linden), junior Aubrey Martin (Toronto, Ontario-Father John Redmond), redshirt sophomore Sabrina McNeill (Whitby, Ontario-Henry Street), redshirt junior Kristin Nason (Brooklin, Ontario-Donald A. Wilson), sophomore Madeline Olson (Libertyville, Ill.-Libertyville), sophomore Tessa Osborne (Mentor, Ohio-Lake Catholic), and senior Kaylin Williams (Kansas City, Mo.-Winnetonka). Cobetto, Frederick, McNeill, Olson, and Osborne garner the honor for the first time in their careers, while Cupp and Nason are second-time awardwinners. Meanwhile, Williams and Colavito receive the award for the third time in her careers. Additionally, EMU is one of only two MAC teams to have two student-athletes with perfect 4.0 GPAs.
