CHICAGO ââ'¬" DePaul soccer standout Elise Wyatt doubled up on postseason national academic honors Thursday when she was named NSCAA Scholar All-America Third Team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Last month, Wyatt was the only BIG EAST Conference student-athlete selected to the CoSIDA 2015 Academic All-America Women's Soccer First Team.
This is the second year in a row Wyatt has been honored by the NSCAA. Last season, the senior forward from Victoria, British Columbia was also a Scholar All-America Third Team selection.
All-Americans and their accomplishments will be celebrated and recognized at the NSCAA All-America Luncheon held during the 2016 NSCAA Convention in Baltimore on Saturday, Jan. 16, starting at noon.
Luncheon registration for players, coaches, and their families is open and available at NSCAA.com/aaregistration.
Wyatt posted a 3.60 grade-point average and is a finance major. In addition to academics, athletic accomplishments were part of the criteria in the selection process.
Wyatt led the Blue Demons to a berth in the BIG EAST Championship and set the program's career record for goals with 35. Her 12 goals this season tied the single-season mark shared by Julianne Sitch (2003) and Abby Reed (2014).
Wyatt's career numbers of 35 goals and 17 assists gave her 87 career points---three shy of all-time leader Sitch (2002-05). Wyatt is tied for third all-time in career assists.
The dangerous attacker notched a pair of hat tricks this season with each offensive outburst accompanied by the NSCAA National Player of the Week award. She finished the season with 12 goals and five assists for 29 points.
