2011 Capital One Academic All-District Men's Soccer Teams
San Francisco, CA -- Junior goalkeeper
Ian Sutherland proudly represented Academy of Art University men's soccer in last week's announcement of the 2011 Capital One Academic All-District Teams. Players were selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and recognized as the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
Sutherland finished the season this past Sunday after combining with the Academy of Art defense to post a shutout in his 13th start of 2011. The junior completed the year tied for sixth in the Pacific West Conference in shutouts (3).
A 2010-11 PacWest Academic All-Conference Team recipient and Photography major with a 3.66 grade-point average, Sutherland becomes the first ART U player ever to earn a place on the Capital One Academic All-District Team.
There are eight districts in all and three separate teams for NCAA Division I, II and III as well as a College Division, which includes NAIA, Canadian and junior colleges. District 8 includes the PacWest, California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).
Academic All-District First Team honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot. The Capital One Division II Academic All-American Team will be announced Nov. 30.
