AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn soccer senior captain Sarah Houchin has been named CoSIDA First Team Academic All-District, earning her way onto the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot.
The Academic All-District Women's Soccer Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. A complete list of Academic All-District honorees can be found here.
First Team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. First, second and third team Academic All-America honorees for Division I women's soccer will be announced July 5.
Houchin, who has already been named United Soccer Coaches Second Team Scholar All-Region, is Auburn's sixth CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree since 2014.
Houchin graduated this spring with a degree in exercise science and a 3.78 cumulative GPA. She is a four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and a three-time member of both the Dean's List and AD Honor Roll.
Houchin was named Auburn's Most Valuable Defensive Player for the second straight season, leading a defensive unit that surrendered a record-matching 15 goals all season, including three in eight spring matches. She not only played a vital role in turning in the league's second-best goals against average, but also contributed on the offensive end, scoring a pair of goals and adding a pair of assists on the year.
The Coppell, Texas, native finished her Auburn career by starting in all 77 games since stepping foot on campus in 2017. She was named a Second Team All-SEC defender last fall.
