Advertiser Staff
Midfielder Joelle Sugai, a senior who started every game for the University of Hawai'i soccer team, was named to an academic All-America third team.
The team was selected by the College Sports Information Directors' Association. Sugai was the only player with Hawai'i ties named to the teams.
Sugai holds a 3.78 grade-point average in pre-business. Earlier this month, she was named to the District VIII all-academic first team for the second year in a row.
To be eligible, student-athletes must be a starter or key reserve, at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing, and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.20.
Sugai, who led the Rainbow Wahine in assists, was named to the all-Western Athletic Conference first team in 2004.
