CSUEB women's soccer scores most CCAA academic honorees

• August 4, 2011 5:17am

On the heels of its final season as a provisional member in NCAA Division II and the recent announcement of its acceptance as full member in the division, the Cal State East Bay Athletics Department saw 25 student-athletes earn California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) All-Academic honors in June 2010. The Pioneers collected more than 20 awards for the second straight year, with student-athletes representing 12 of East Bay's 13 CCAA-sponsored sports.

To be eligible for CCAA All-Academic honors, student-athletes must have earned a varsity letter, have competed in one of the CCAA's 13 sponsored sports and have a grade point average of 3.4 or higher while completing a minimum of 24 semester or 36 quarter units during the current academic year.

Women's soccer led all sports with six honorees, led by junior Tenaya Davis' 3.95 grade point average, which was the best among all the Pioneer student-athletes.

Davis is majoring in business with an emphasis on marketing and advertising. She said she chose to play at CSUEB because of our, "atmosphere, the business program and the quality of the athletic program."

Congrats, Tenaya!
