STANFORD, Calif. – A national-best four Stanford women's soccer players have been named College Sports Communicators Academic All-Americans, it was announced on Wednesday.
Senior Ryan Campbell and graduate student Kennedy Wesley earned spots on the first team, followed by sophomore Jasmine Aikey on the second team and fifth-year player Maya Doms on the third team.
Campbell carries a 3.88 GPA as a communications major, while Wesley is completing a co-term with degrees in psychology and sociology while managing better than a 3.5 GPA in both pursuits.
Aikey, who will declare a major at the end of this academic year, sports a 3.93 GPA, while Doms has compiled a 3.65 GPA in pursuit of a degree in human biology.
The four selections are the most of any Division I program, ahead of Penn State's three, and eclipsed Stanford's prior program record of three honorees in 2010. This year also marks the first time in program history that the Cardinal has placed two players on the Academic All-America first team.
Campbell was previously named a first-team Scholar All-American according to United Soccer Coaches.
