HOUSTON, Texas -- In an announcement made Friday afternoon at the conference tournament, Southwestern's Kayla Moody was named the 2024 SCAC Women’s Soccer Elite 19 award winner.
Moody, a junior defender from League City, Texas, currently holds a cumulative GPA of 4.000 in Biochemistry with a minor in Health Studies and earned First Team All-SCAC honors this season.
Moody's selection marks the fifth time a Southwestern student-athlete has received the Elite 19 honor for women's soccer, and the 27th time total a SU Pirate student-athlete has earned Elite 19 recognition - both all-time conference highs.
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.
