HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Senior standout Lucy Porter collected another accolade as she was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America first team, announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America Monday.
Porter is one of 32 Hofstra student-athletes to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades and is the first first team selection for a Pride student-athlete in any sport since 2013. She also is the sixth CoSIDA Academic All-American in Hofstra women’s soccer history, joining Chrissy Arnone (second team, 2005), Sue Weber (first team, 2007), Dana Bergstrom (first team, 2010), Tiffany Yovino (first team, 2010) and Monique Iannella (third team, 2018).
In the classroom, Porter boasts a 3.87 grade point average as a Community Health major with minors in neuroscience and psychology. She is a three-time Provost’s List and four-time Dean’s List honoree, and she has been named to the Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll and Hofstra Athletic Director Scholars Honor roll every semester. In addition, Porter was recently tabbed a first team United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-American for the second consecutive year, and this past academic year, Porter earned the Dr. Sylvia J.
