Men’s Soccer Earns United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award

CONWAY, S.C. - The Coastal Carolina University men's soccer team was recognized by the United Soccer Coaches as a Team Academic Award winner for its outstanding academic performance as a team during the 2020-21 academic year. The honor marks the sixth-straight year (14th overall) that the Chanticleers have received the team academic award recognition.

The Chanticleers were one of 239 men's collegiate soccer teams to earn the Team Academic Award for the 2020-21 academic year, as the team posted a 3.23-grade point average.

With the women's team also earning the award, the two soccer programs made Coastal Carolina one of just 112 schools across the nation to have both their men's and women's programs recognized.

Notably, CCU was one of just two former Sun Belt men's soccer programs to be recognized, along with Georgia State.

United Soccer Coaches annually celebrates the academic achievements of college soccer teams whose student-athletes collectively demonstrate a commitment to excellence in their studies over the course of a full school year. The award is given to programs with a composite grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale for all players on the roster.
