The Capital One Academic All-District Women's Soccer Teams
are selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America to
recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances
athletically and in the classroom.
Each of the America East honorees were also named to the
America East All-Academic team, with three of the student-athletes earning
spots on all-conference teams and two earning major awards.
Quinlan (Saugus, Mass.) has a 3.72 grade point average in
health sciences, and is the first player to earn America East Goalkeeper of the
Year twice in her career. Quinlan ranks first among conference keepers in goals
against average (0.692), which puts her 36th in the country. She
has anchored the Hawks' defense to the best shutout percentage in the
conference (.500) and the lowest goals against average.
Alves (Ludlow, Mass.) was an all-conference second-team
honoree as a midfielder, and has a 3.71 GPA in health sciences. A second-team
all-conference selection, Alves is third on the team in points with 10, scoring
three goals to go with four assists.
The conference's leading scorer, Pereira (Madeira Island,
Portugal) holds a 3.80 GPA in management. The America East Striker of the Year
and a unanimous selection to the all-conference first team, Pereira has netted
13 goals this year, including six game winners which ranks seventh in the
country. The senior also averages a league-best 1.83 points per game, good for
the 17th in the nation.
New Hampshire's Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) has a 3.89 GPA in
accounting/finance. She ranked third in the conference in saves with 83, making
4.61 stops per game while recording three shutouts.
First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the
Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-,second- and
third-team all-America honorees will be selected later this month.
