Men’s soccer player Ryan Thomas<\/a><\/strong> (Telford, Pa.\/Christopher Dock) has been named to the District V Academic All-District Team, as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). This is his first such award.<\/p>\n

Thomas, an EMU team captain and who has been a starting center back since midway through his freshman season, holds a 3.70 GPA with a double major of accounting and economics. Along with helping the Royals to seven shutouts this fall, the senior also scored the first goal of his career in last Wednesday’s 4-1 win over Shenandoah. He had previously notched his first point with an assist against Randolph on Oct. 1.<\/p>\n

Thomas has also been a regular on the ODAC All-Academic Team and the Royals All-Academic Team.<\/p>\n

“Ryan has always been a great leader for our team,” said Coach Roger Mast. “He does a fantastic job of balancing his training and soccer responsibilities with the work he does in the classroom. Being a double major, he has always been a good student and we couldn’t be more proud of him.”<\/p>\n

The criteria for the All-District program states that a player must be of sophomore academic standing, be a starter or important reserve and claim a GPA of at least 3.30 on a 4.0 scale. Eastern Mennonite is a member of District 5, which includes players from NCAA D-III institutions in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.\u00a0 Only 13 men’s soccer players were honored from District 5.<\/p>\n

The semifinals and championship will be this Saturday and Sunday at the highest remaining seed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
