COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – The Saint John's University soccer team earned a United Soccer Coaches' Team Academic Award for the 11th consecutive season on Thursday, Oct. 3.

A total of 344 men's soccer teams in all NCAA and NAIA divisions posted team GPAs of 3.00 or higher on a 4.0 scale during the 2018-19 academic year to earn Team Academic Award honors. The Johnnies' 35-man roster combined for a 3.32 team GPA.

For a team to be considered for the NSCAA Team Academic Award, it must have a composite team grade-point average of at least 3.0 for all team members who appear on the official NCAA roster forms for the fall season.

The Johnnies (6-3, 3-1 MIAC) play two games this weekend, beginning with a 1 p.m. contest Saturday, Oct. 5, at Saint Mary's in Winona. SJU returns home to host Minnesota-Morris for a 3:30 p.m. non-conference game on Sunday, Oct. 6, at Haws Field.
