Hannah Kelley-Lusk of West Texas A&M University headlines the 2021 CoSIDA Academic All-America® Division II Women's Soccer teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The Division II Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2021-22 Division II Academic All-America® program.
Kelley-Lusk has been selected as the recipient of the Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year for Division II women's soccer after earning a spot on the second team a year ago. This also marks the second year in a row that West Texas A&M had a CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year. A year ago,

She leads NCAA Division II in goals scored (26), ranks tenth in assists (10), and is the national leader in total points (62) while playing in 18 matches. The 26 goals are a school record, and she finished second in career goals with 57. She added 24 career assists for 138 career points.
