W.Soc Wins CSUB Highest Team GPA Award


The all-sports banquet was held this past Saturday to recognize student-athletes and teams for their achievements on the field and in the classroom. Dr. Jacquelyn Kegley presented the annual Kegley-McCall Award to the women's soccer team for earning the highest aggregate grade point average. It's the third time in four years they've taken home the honor. The team earned a 3.25 aggregate GPA, knocking off defending Kegley-McCall Award winners women's tennis who captured the honor last season with a 3.21 mark. Prior to that women's soccer had earned a 3.17 GPA in 2009 and 3.01 GPA in 2008 taking the award in both years. Head Coach Melissa Phillips noted as she accepted the award from Dr. Kegley on behalf of the team ..."This award goes directly to the players on this team. These young women work tirelessly in the classroom to be just as competitive as they are on the soccer field." In addition to this award, senior-captain Faith Perry was Co-Female Roadrunner of the year for her efforts in the community, classroom, and on the field.
