The Central College men’s and women’s soccer teams once again received the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 2016-17 academic year.

Programs must post a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) to earn the honor.

The Central women’s team, under the tutelage of head coach Mike Kobylinski, earned the accolade for the sixth consecutive year and ninth time overall. The men’s team, led by head coach Garry Laidlaw, picked up the award for the fifth consecutive year and fifth time overall.

The Dutch are one of just two Iowa Conference programs to see their men’s and women’s teams both earn the award.
