ORU Men's Soccer Players On Summit League Honor Roll

Following the conclusion of the first semester of the 2012-13 academic year, The Summit League has announced its Academic Distinguished Scholars for the fall season. A total of 294 Summit League student-athletes from men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer and volleyball were recognized as Distinguished Scholars.

In order to be named a Distinguished Scholar, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.60 grade-point average in the semester in which they compete and must use a year of eligibility.

Kansas City had a league-high 38 student-athletes named Distinguished Scholars followed by South Dakota with 37 recipients. Oakland and Western Illinois each had 36 honorees followed closely by South Dakota State (35 recipients) and Omaha (32 recipients). Fort Wayne landed 26 student-athletes on the list followed by IUPUI's 25 honorees and North Dakota State's 18. Men's soccer associate members Eastern Illinois and Oral Roberts had four and seven student-athletes, respectively, earn Distinguished Scholar honors.

The full Summit League Academic Honor Roll will be released Friday.
