The Bowling Green State University women's soccer team has earned an academic honor from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The Falcons have received the NSCAA/adidas College Women's Team Academic Award for the 2008-09 academic year, the NSCAA office has announced.

The Falcons of head coach Andy Richards earn the honor for the first time in program history. BGSU was one of four Mid-American Conference schools to receive the award.

"This achievement sets these teams apart from the others, demonstrating the programs' commitment to achievement on the field and in the classroom," said Joe Cummings, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the NSCAA.

The NSCAA/adidas College Women's Team Academic Award is given to women's soccer programs that have achieved a minimum team grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The Falcons had a team GPA of 3.26 during the '08-09 academic year.

Way to go, Falcons! Coach Richards and the program are class on and off the field.

Congrats!

Three Falcons got MAC All-Academic honors as well. Women soccer players seem to be a pretty bright bunch.
