St. Paul, Minn. – The Macalester College women's soccer team received the Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches last week, after posting a 3.73 team grade point average during the 2021-22 academic year. The Scots' GPA ranks 11^th in Division III and 18^th in the nation.
 
Macalester is one of 152 schools to have both its men's and women's programs achieve this honor. This is the 15^th time in the past 19 years that Macalester has earned this award, which requires teams to have an overall team GPA of 3.0 or higher. There was a total of 502 women's programs across all divisions that qualified for the Team Academic Award.
 
Last fall, Macalester had two seniors, Dana Gustafson (Ames, Iowa/Ames) and Hannah Conner (Madison, Wis./Madison West), named to the Division III Academic All-District 6 team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSida). Gustafson and Conner were also two of 23 team members to earn Academic All-MIAC honors, achieving a cumulative 3.50 GPA or better.
