Gornick, Wolfer Named Academic All-District
TACOMA, Wash. - After already having helped the sixth-ranked Puget Sound Loggers collect a seventh-straight Northwest Conference title, junior Kallie Wolfer (Salt Lake City, Utah/Skyline) and senior Fiona Gornick (Portland, Ore./Grant) picked up an academic honor on Thursday morning, earning a spot on the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team.
Wolfer, a biology major and the defending NWC Defensive Player of the Year, has only allowed four goals in 1106:16 for a 0.33 GAA. Before allowing a goal last Saturday, Wolfer and the Loggers had not allowed an opponent to score in 658:25. Wolfer is currently seventh in the nation in GAA and 21st in save percentage (.879).
Gornick, a senior midfielder and exercise science major, leads the NWC in assists (8) and assists per game (0.6). Her assists per game put her 26th on the national list. A First Team All-NWC selection in 2007 and a Second Team All-NWC selection in 2006, Gornick has played a major role in the Loggers success the past four seasons.
By earning a spot on the Academic All-District First Team, both Wolfer and Gornick are now eligible for selection to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America team, which will be released in November.
The Academic All-America program is run by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). To be nominated, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at his/her current institution.
