KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Colorado State women's soccer team continues to receive recognition for its work in the classroom, as the Rams earned the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award.

In order to eligible for the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award, a team must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better for that respective academic year. Colorado State receives this award for the 2016-17 academic year after finishing with a 3.15 team GPA.

This marks the second time that CSU has been a recipient of the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award. The Rams also earned the award for the 2015-16 academic year.

The Rams add this to their already lengthy list of academic accolades for the 2016-17 academic year. 16 Rams were named Academic All-Mountain West for the year, while nine were recognized as Mountain West Scholar-Athletes. Both totals are single-season bests for the program.

A tradition of academic excellence for the Rams extends all the way back to 2013, the program's inaugural season under now-fifth-year CSU head coach Bill Hempen. Over the previous four years, 47 Rams have earned Academic All-Mountain West honors, while 22 Rams have been named Mountain West Scholar-Athletes.

Notably, current seniors Gianna Marconi and Janelle Stone are each three-time recipients of each of Academic All-Mountain West and Mountain West Scholar-Athlete honors. Seniors Taylor Hodgson and Maddi Rodriguez have also been named Academic All-Mountain West three times each.

The Colorado State women's soccer team returns to action at the friendly confines of the new CSU Soccer Field this weekend. The Rams host Boise State at 4 p.m. MT on Friday and Utah State at 1 p.m. MT on Sunday.
