Justin Suter of NYU Selected to Capital One Academic All-America Team

From NYU Athletics

Justin Suter of the New York University men's soccer team was named to the Capital One Division III Academic All-America Third Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The honor was announced on Friday, November 21, following Suter's selection to the Academic All-District 3 First Team last month.

To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher on a scale of 4.0, and have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution.

The senior defender adds this accolade to his three career University Athletic Association (UAA) Fall Sports All-Academic honors, as well as two NYU Intercollegiate Athletics Advisory Committee (IAAC) Fall Honor Roll selections.

On the field, Suter played and started in 18 contests for the Violets (11-7-1) in 2014, anchoring a back line that allowed less than one goal per game throughout the season. As a junior, the Cold Spring Harbor, NY, native played in 13 games for NYU, including five starts. He scored his first-career goal against Stevens Institute of Technology on September 14, 2013.

In his first year on the squad as a sophomore, Suter played in seven games, including his first collegiate start on November 11, 2012, against Richard Stockton College.
