Hannity Named Capitol One Academic All-District

Senior men's soccer player Keir Hannity was named to the Capitol One Academic All-District First Team on Thursday afternoon.   Hannity, who leads the Blue Devils in scoring this season, will now advance to the national ballot and have a chance at becoming an Academic All-American.

Hannity leads the Blue Devils in goals (5) and points (12) this season.  He has started 13 of his 14 games played.  Last season Hannity played in 17 games, making 14 starts, and posted a goal and an assist. 

To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 20,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.

Hannity and the Blue Devils travel to Western Pennsylvania this weekend for an important pair of Northeast Conference games.  Central will play at Robert Morris on Friday afternoon and then at Saint Francis U on Sunday.
