Capitol One Academic All-District Teams

WATERBURY, Conn. – Senior Joe Baccielo (Stratford, Conn.) of the Post University men's soccer team was named to the Capitol One Academic All-District First Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the second-consecutive season on Thursday.
 
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.30 or higher and be enrolled at the institution for more than two semesters. The award recognizes individuals for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. By virtue of his first team selection, Baccielo is eligible for Academic All-American status.
 
On the pitch this season, Baccielo has helped lead the Eagles to a No. 6 ranking in the most recent National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)poll and the top ranking in the NCAA East Region. The senior leads the team with 11 goals, including six game-winning scores, and 25 points.
 
Baccielo was named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Player of the Week last week for his game-winning goal in the 87^th minute against then-No. 1 LIU-Post.
 
Post closes out its regular season tomorrow at Nyack at 3 p.m. The top-seeded Eagles return home on Monday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the CACC Tournament, their opponent has not yet been finalized.
