Women's Soccer's Alex Leamy Earns National Academic Honors

San Antonio - Trinity University Tigers senior midfielder Alex Leamy has been elected to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America College Division Women's Soccer Team for the second straight year.

Leamy, from Loveland, Ohio (Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy), was selected for the Academic All-America Second Team. An engineering science major with a 3.95 grade point average, Leamy made the 2008 Academic All-America Third Team.

Voting is conducted nationwide by members of CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors of America.

A starter for all 17 of the Tigers' games, Leamy has contributed one goal and three assists. Leamy recently was named to the All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Second Team. She was a major force as the Tigers claimed their 14^th SCAC Championship. Lance Key, in his sixth year at Trinity's helm, has guided the Tigers to four of those conference titles.

Trinity, undefeated with a 17-0-0 record, will host Hardin-Simmons Saturday in the NCAA Division III Sectional Tournament. The winner advances to Sunday's NCAA quarterfinals, against the winner of Concordia-Morehead and Lynchburg.

At stake is a berth in the NCAA semifinals and final, to be held Dec. 4-5 at San Antonio's Blossom Soccer Stadium. Trinity and San Antonio Sports are co-hosts of the national event.
