Truong is the third St. Thomas student-athlete to earn Elite 19 honors. She joins Tom Hultsch, who was named the 2019 SCAC Men’s Soccer award winner and Luis Bencomo, who was named the SCAC Men's Soccer award winner earlier this fall.
Established prior to the 2018-19 academic year and meant to recognize the best of the best within each conference sponsored-sport as it relates to both academic and athletic achievement, the SCAC Elite 19 is awarded to the student-athlete who has completed the equivalent of at least 60 credit hours at his or her current institution and has at least a cumulative 3.25 GPA. The student-athlete must also have earned All-SCAC First or Second Team honors in his/her sport for that particular season.
