LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Two Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s soccer players were named to the Capital One Academic All-District team announced Thursday. Trinity University seniors Emily Jorgens and Kelsey Falcone were honored.
Jorgens is an accounting major, and earned all-district honors for the second year in a row. In the 2013 season, she was also elected the Capital One Academic All-American of the Year and earned the Elite 89 Award, having the highest GPA at the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Championship.
In her senior season, Jorgens has moved to up the SCAC record book, extending her records for career assists and assist/game average while also moving to second in SCAC history for career point total with 197 through October 26.
