Men's Soccer Team Earns Academic Award
The 2009-10 University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s men’s soccer team was one of 196 men’s NCAA Division III soccer teams to earn a team academic award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
To qualify, teams had to have a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The Panthers, coached by Dariusz Panol, had a GPA of 3.01. The Panthers were the only men’s team in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference to receive the honor.
“One of our main team goals is to have a 3.0 GPA or better each year,” Panol said. “This was the first year we were able to attain it, and I’m very proud of all the hard work the players put in on and off the field.
“Our standards and expectations are very high for our players, and it brings me great pleasure to have truly gifted soccer players who have a full understanding of what it means to be a student-athlete.”
In addition, Kyle Lewis, a senior history political/science major from North East, received an honorable mention in the Scholar All-East Region.
