FULL CoSIDA RELEASE

TOWSON, Md. – University of Evansville senior women's soccer player Stephanie Thompson became just the second player in program history to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors, as she was named to the Capital One Academic All-America Third Team in a release by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
 
Thompson helped Evansville to a 9-6-4 record this season, after scoring seven points on three goals and an assist to earn a spot on the All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team for the second-straight season.  The Evansville native, who owns a perfect 4.0 grade-point average (GPA) as an exercise science major, was also rewarded for her performance in the classroom by the Valley by earning a spot on the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team for the third-consecutive year. 
 
Thompson finished her career with 36 points on 14 goals and eight assists and now joins Kayla Lambert as the only other Academic All-America selection in UE women's soccer history.  Lambert was a third-team selection in 2008.
 
To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.
