Spalding's Logan Picks Up CoSIDA Academic Award

Spalding University women's soccer player Alyssa Logan has been named to the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-District II Soccer Team, announced earlier today.

This marks Spalding's first CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree since becoming eligible in 2012. Logan will move on to the CoSIDA Academic All-American ballot which will be announced on Friday, November 18.

The District II region includes Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island and West Virginia. To be nominated for the CoSIDA Academic All-America program, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore with a 3.30 or higher cumulative grade point average and be a starter or significant reserve.

Logan, a Carmel, Ind. native, is a natural science major with a focus in physical therapy and holds a 4.0 GPA. The senior was also the recipient of the Louisville Women's Sports Network's 2016 WISH Courage Award after sharing her story about her battle with chron's disease. Earlier this year, Logan spent time at a "Girls in Sports" field trip at the KFC Yum Center where she spoke to 500 middle school aged girls alongside Olympic Gold Medalist Kelsi Worrell.

On the field, Logan has helped the Golden Eagles to a 10-5-1 record and second straight SLIAC Tournament berth anchoring a back line that has seven shutouts on the season.
