NOTRE DAME, Ind. – In helping the Majors to an 11-5 overall record through the first 16 games and doing their parts as student-athletes, seniors Bobbi Jones and Elizabeth Sooby of Millsaps College have been chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) as ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI selections.
Jones, a native of Homewood, Ala., with a 3.69 GPA in English, was tabbed a First Team selection and will be eligible for Academic All-America accolades released Nov. 18, while her teammate Sooby from Shreveport, La., a two-time Academic All-SCAC performer, has a 3.78 GPA in physics and was voted to the Second Team.
The duo have contributed on the field as well, with Jones recording six goals and seven assists for 19 total points at forward (third in the SCAC) and Sooby stopping 55 shots and posting four shutouts between the posts.
With four regular season games remaining (two at home), Millsaps has the opportunity to match its most wins in school history (13-3-2 in 1987) if they can at least split the four.
