Rice senior defender Erin Droeger was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI Soccer Team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Droeger, who earned first team all-Conference USA for her soccer skills earlier this week, maintained a 3.48 grade point average with a double-major in psychology and kinesiology. As a first team all-district selection, Droeger is now eligible to earn NCAA Academic All-America honors.

She has started every Rice game in which she has played dating back to her freshman year in 2002, giving her total of 77 career starts to tie for the most in school history. One of the most respected defenders in the region, Droeger has served as the Owls' team captain the last two seasons.
