DURHAM – The Duke men's soccer program has been awarded the United Soccer Coaches College Team Academic Award for the 2021-22 academic year, as the organization announced on Friday.
A total of 746 soccer teams (220 men, 382 women) posted a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher, thereby earning the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 2021-22 academic year. Duke was one of 130 programs across the nation to have both the men's and women's teams honored for their efforts in the classroom.
Under the guidance of head coach
John Kerr and his coaching staff, the Blue Devils finished with a cumulative GPA of 3.58.
The award is another in a line of academic successes for the Blue Devils, who had eight named to the All-ACC Academic Team back in January. That number was the most by a Blue Devils team since 2011.
Duke is set to open the 2022 season with three exhibitions, beginning with a trip to South Carolina on Saturday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m.
