AUSTIN, Texas – Spring Arbor University senior goalkeeper
Samantha Tracey headlines the Academic All-America® NAIA Women’s Soccer teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The NAIA Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NAIA national governance structure to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2020-21 NAIA Academic All-America® teams program.
Tracey was selected as the recipient of the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year for NAIA women’s soccer.
Tracey had an outstanding year in net for the Cougars as the math/secondary education major posted an overall record of 14-1-1 while finishing with a goals-against average of 0.45 and save percentage of .860. She helped the Cougars to a 15-2-2 final record which ended with an appearance in the semifinals of the NAIA National Tournament where they fell in penalty kicks to eventual national champion Keisier University.
The senior from Davison, Michigan, posted 10 shutouts on the season and finished the year with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.99.
Eight of the 11 members of the 2020 CoSIDA Academic All-America® NAIA women’s soccer team have at least a 3.90 GPA, with two student-athletes maintaining a perfect 4.00 GPA. The 11 members of the first team have an average GPA of 3.93.
Abigail Meyer of Columbia (Mo.) College is back on the CoSIDA Academic All-America® first team in 2020 after earning that same honor in 2018 while earning second team honors a year ago. Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) University senior
Riley Martinson moved up from second team in 2019 to first team this year.
