PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula College men’s and women’s soccer teams are not only ranked No. 1 in the NWAACC for their accomplishments on soccer fields all over Washington and Oregon, but they also lead the conference in the number of student-athletes earning NWAACC All-Academic honors this year.
Seven members of the men’s team and six from the women’s team earned All-Academic awards, the NWAACC announced Monday.
Named to the All-Academic team for the Peninsula men were Lachlan Bond, Mark Cottrell, Kalei Gallarde, Angel Guerra, Corbyn May, Zachary Newton and Erick Urzua.
For the Pirate women, it was Annie Armstrong, Briana Estrellado, Laura Morgan, Miranda Muotka, Miranda Sochacki and Shelbi Vienna-Hallam.
The award is presented to sophomore athletes who meet the NWAACC criteria for “excellent academic performance.”
The Peninsula Pirates return to the pitch Saturday at Wally Sigmar Field in the quarterfinal round of the NWAACC Championships.
At 11 a.m., the Peninsula women (16-0, 17-2) will host the winner of Wednesday’s match between Whatcom (9-0-7, 10-1-7) and Clark (10-4-2, 10-8-3).
