FRISCO, Texas –
Havana Johnson, a second-team All-Southland Conference women's soccer selection for the McNeese Cowgirls, has been selected to the SLC All-Academic team the league announced on Tuesday.
Johnson, a native of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, earned second team honors while garnering the award for the second straight season. She compiled a 3.61 GPA in nursing.
Last month Johnson became a three-time All-SLC selection after she led the Cowgirls this past spring with five goals scored and 11 total points.
Lamar forward Esther Okoronkwo was named the Southland Conference Soccer Student-Athlete of the Year.
Southland Conference All-Academic Teams are voted upon by the head coach, sports information director and an academic/compliance staff member from each school. Student-Athletes of the Year are voted upon by an awards committee which consists of one administrator from each member school. Voting for one's own athletes is not permitted.
To be eligible for all-academic distinction, an athlete must hold a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point average through the semester prior to the sport's championship, completed at least one full academic year at the nominating school prior to the current season, and participated in at least 50 percent of the team's competitions during the most recently completed season. Student-Athlete of the Year nominees must have held at least a 3.20 GPA and have completed at least two years of athletic competition at the nominating school, including the current season.
First Team All-Conference athletes who meet all-academic nomination criteria are automatically named all-academic.
