HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison women's soccer senior
Mia Pham, redshirt junior
Ellie Johnson and sophomore
Amanda Attanasi earned Academic All-District honors, College Sports Communicators announced Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Pham is a computer science major with a 3.90 cumulative GPA while being a captain this season for the Dukes. The Chantilly, Va. native played in all 21 matches this season in the midfield with nine starts and had the assist on the game-winning goal in the Sun Belt Conference semifinals.
Â
A key part of a backline that produced a program record 13 shutouts, Johnson is a communication studies and writing, rhetoric and technical communication double major with a cumulative GPA of 3.94. She played in 19 matches with 17 starts and recorded one assist. The defender's play this season was key for a team that set program records in goals against average (0.56), goals allowed (12), shutouts (13) and consecutive minutes without being scored upon (475:31).
Â
A sport and recreation management major with a 3.73 cumulative GPA, Attanasi led the team this season with nine goals, 21 points, 31 shots on goal and 55 shots. Six of the forward's nine goals were game-winners, the third most in a single season by a Duke in program history and the most since Haley Crawford scored five in 2018.
Â
The Dukes ended the 2022 campaign with an overall record of 12-4-5, the most wins since 2014 for the program. The number four seed in the conference tournament and an appearance in the championship match capped off the first season as a member of the Sun Belt.
Â
The three All-District honorees now advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot that will be voted on and announced in early December.
