Four players from the UNC women’s soccer tam have been named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Team, which was announced Tuesday.
Junior midfielder Joanna Boyles was named to the Academic All-Conference team for the second consecutive year. Boyles was also named second-team All-ACC for her performance on the field during the Tar Heels 2015 campaign.
Boyes is joined by first-time honorees Paige Nielsen, Alexa Newfield and Dorian Bailey.
Nielsen is a finalist for the 2015 Senior CLASS Award as well.
Bailey is a freshman from Kansas City and Newfield was UNC’s leading goal scorer last season. Newfield was also named third-team All-ACC.
Nielsen and Newfield were also recently selected in the National Women’s Soccer League draft.
The four Tar Heels honored were the most on the team since 2012.
