LAS VEGAS - The UNLV men's soccer received one selection to the Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII Fall/Winter At Large Team, it was announced Thursday.
Junior midfielder Andrew Hooker was chosen to the district's first team and will appear on the ballot for national Academic All-America team, which will be announced next month.
Hooker, a native of Victoria B.C., is pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a 3.91 GPA and is a member of the UNLV Athletics Academic Top 30 for the third year in a row. Hooker started all 18 games for the Rebels last fall and was MVP of the UNM Invitational.
Verizon and the College Sports Information Directors of America select Academic All-America teams at both the district and national level in most sports. Those sports without a team selected, such as soccer, are grouped into an at-large team.
