STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford women's soccer has been named one of nine collegiate programs recognized as recipients of the United Soccer Coaches Team Pinnacle Award for the 2023-24 academic year.
Stanford returns to the list after being selected last year, while three teams—Frostburg State University women, Hardin-Simmons University women and Westminster College (Pa.) women—earn the award for the third time.
In its fourth year, the Team Pinnacle Award honors teams that have achieved a high level of fair play, educational excellence, and success on the pitch.
To be considered for the award, teams must have received either the Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze version of the High School or College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award; achieved recognition in the classroom as a recipient of the High School or College Team Academic Award; and recorded a winning percentage of .750 or higher during the respective season.
Including Stanford, six of the nine collegiate women’s teams are repeat winners.
