2017 CoSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT TEAM

BOSTON – For the first time in Suffolk women's soccer's 11-year history, a Ram has garnered College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA) Academic All-District as senior Alexandra Nagri earned the distinction for the 2017 season, the organization announced Thursday afternoon.

Nagri is one of 14 NCAA Division III players in the New England region honored for combined excellence academically and athletically with first-team District 1 recognition. The Finance and Accounting major is one of two players from the GNAC to earn the honor and first-ever Rams' women's soccer player to pick up the accolade in the program's 11-year history. Overall, Suffolk has seen 10 student-athletes pick up the accomplishment with Nagri being the second in as many years with baseball's Matt Brenner, BSBA '17 earning the distinction a year ago. 

First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-American honorees will be selected later this month. 

A forward from Salem, New Hampshire, secured her spot in Suffolk's record book when she became the second-ever player in blue-and-gold to eclipse the 100-point mark. She accomplished the feat in the 2017 regular season finale with a four-goal, one-assist performance in a 10-0 win over Mass. Maritime. 

The two-time all-league second-team selection has paced the Rams' offensive unit for the past three years and wrapped up her four-year campaign with 103 points on 46 goals and 11 helpers, to sit second all-time in both points and goals. 

Nagri had a standout individual career at Suffolk, but also lead the Rams to multiple successes including three trips to the conference tournament highlighted by a semifinal run in 2016. Another memorable performance came Sept. 27 this season the she put away the game-winner in 2-0 win over conference powerhouse Lasell to help the Rams not only take down the Lasers for the first-time in program history and become the first league team to defeat and shutout Lasell since 2012. As a junior in 2016, she helped the rams to their second-most victories (11) in the program's history, while playing the most games (21) in a single season. 

Now with her collegiate soccer career completed Nagri looks to help Suffolk's women's basketball team make their 24th conference postseason trip as a senior captain.
