BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies were honored for their scholastic endeavors as they garnered the United Soccer Coaches (USC) Team Academic Award. The organization announced its list of honorees for the 2019-20 academic year Thursday.
Â
Coach Guerrieri's squad earned the award for the ninth consecutive year and 11th overall, logging a 3.43 GPA for fall 2019 and spring 2020. The Aggies posted the highest semester GPA in team annals with a 3.604 mark for spring 2020.
Â
"This is an award we always take great pride in," Texas A&M head coach G Guerrieri said. "Two things we always talk about as a program are 'team' and 'academics', so this is an award we take great satisfaction in earning. It is a testament to all the players' hard work in the classroom. It says a lot about the quality of the people we have on this team – a squad of young women who are dedicated to being successful in the classroom, as well as on the field."
Â
Last season, Jimena Lopez earned recognition as a USC Scholar All-America. Macie Kolb, Lopez and Callyn Walton picked up CoSIDA Academic All-District 7 honors.
Â
For a team to be considered for the USC Team Academic Award, it must have a composite team grade-point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for all team members who appeared on the official NCAA roster forms for the fall season (2019).
Â
The Maroon & White concluded the 2019 campaign with a record of 14-5-3. The Aggies appeared in the NCAA Championship for the 25th consecutive season. Texas A&M advanced to the second round of the tournament for the 21st consecutive year.
Â
This season, the Aggies are 1-0-0 after a season-opening 3-0 win at Ole Miss. Texas A&M, ranked No. 5 in the USC Coaches Poll, return to action on Sunday, October 4, when they travel to Fayetteville for a match against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
