SEWARD, Neb. – For its exceptional work in the classroom, the Concordia University Men’s Soccer program has garnered the 2021-22 College Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches, as announced on Thursday (July 28). The Bulldogs have been a regular yearly winner of the honor during Head Coach Jason Weides’ tenure. From last season’s team, roughly a dozen Concordia student-athletes are on track to earn NAIA Scholar-Athlete recognition.
A total of 746 soccer teams (220 men, 382 women) posted a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher, thereby earning the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 2021-22 academic year. Of that total, 130 schools had both their men’s and women’s programs recognized.
Weides’ team posted a collective grade point average of 3.36 for the 2021-22 academic year. That GPA will also qualify the Bulldogs for NAIA Scholar-Team status (official announcement in mid-September).
