GREENSBORO, N.C. - Twelve women's soccer student-athletes from six Atlantic Coast Conference schools were recognized on the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District Team. Florida State and North Carolina led the league with three selections apiece, while Clemson and Duke each notched a pair. Virginia and Wake Forest completed the ACC contingent with one student-athlete each.

The ACC will be represented on the national ballot, which will be announced on November 20, by four student-athletes, as North Carolina's Anna Rodenbough and Yael Averbuch, Clemson's Molly Johnson and Florida State's Becky Edwards received a first-team nod.

To be nominated, the student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) for his/her career. A student-athlete is not eligible until he/she has reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his/her current institution. In the cases of transfers, graduate students and junior college graduates, the athlete must have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution to be eligible.
