Soccer Receives NSCAA Team Academic Award

Simmons Soccer is gearing up for the start of the 2010 fall season. Led by 2009 Great Northeast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year Erica Mastrogiacomo, in her fifth year at the helm of the program, the Sharks expect another successful year after an 8-2-3 GNAC record and the 2009 GNAC Championship title. Simmons is hungry for another GNAC tournament win in 2010.

Simmons Soccer wrapped up their fall 2010 campaign in late October, after a challenging season that tested the squad?s toughness and adaptability. Four of seven seniors suffered career-ending injuries, pushing freshmen and sophomores to take larger roles on the team throughout the Sharks? schedule. Simmons persevered through the obstacles, finishing 6-10-1 overall, and 5-7-0 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference.

Simmons Soccer received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award for the 2009-10 academic year, the NSCAA announced recently.
