by Anthony Sandstrom, CSU-Pueblo Sports Information Director

PUEBLO, Colo - The CSU-Pueblo women's soccer team was recognized today by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America for their performance in the classroom with the NSCAA's College Team Academic Award. With a 3.22 team GPA, and a 14-6-1 overall record, the ThunderWolves excelled both on the field and in the classroom during the 2007 season. Team recognition at the national level follows the RMAC's recognition of five ThunderWolves as RMAC Scholar-Athletes this fall, including Rikki Warmack, the RMAC Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year .

Coach Morris commented, "Academic and athletic success go hand in hand. The drive and dedication that lead to success in the classroom also bring success on the soccer field. This is a great honor for a tremendous group of young women, they have certainly put in a great deal of effort and it's really nice to see that recognized."
