AMES, Iowa – Six members of the Iowa State women’s soccer team earned CSC Academic All-District honors for the 2023 season, the College Sports Communicators announced. It marks the second straight season that six Cyclones earned the honor.

Iowa State’s six honorees include Maddie Brant, Alex Campana, Olivia Edwards, Mira Emma, Abigail Miller and Hanna Reid. It marked the second straight season that Edwards, Emma and Miller made the Academic All-District Team.

To qualify for All-District recognition, each student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 GPA and demonstrate athletic excellence while meeting a game participation threshold.

“We are really proud of our women for earning this honor and are completely unsurprised by it,” said Head Coach Matt Fannon. “Each of them embodies exactly what it means to be a Cyclone every day on and off the field and they are all wonderful representatives of our program.”

A fifth-year senior team captain, Brant picked up her first CSC Academic All-District honor, starting all 18 matches for the Cyclones. Brant had one assist on the season, tallying one point and played 1,079 minutes of action.

Campana, a fifth-year transfer from Marquette, earned her first CSC Academic All-District recognition after a year with the Cyclones. She played in all 18 matches, starting 11 and playing 1,068 minutes. She recorded one assist for one point and notched 23 shots on the year.

For the second straight season, Edwards earned Academic All-District honors with the Cyclones. A four-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll as well as a two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team member, Edwards got it done both on the pitch and classroom again this season. She ended her year with one score and one assist, playing 1,473 minutes.

Emma, like Edwards, earned her second straight Academic All-District honor. The fifth-year team captain recorded 14 points, netting five goals and a team-high four assists. Along with being a two-time member of the CSC Academic All-District Team, Emma has also been an All-Big 12 First Team member three times and has been on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll four times.

After earning her first CSC Academic All-District honor last year at Arkansas State, Miller was recognized again for her academic prowess as a Cyclone. Miller played in 17 contests for the Cyclones, making 16 starts. She tallied five points on the season, scoring a pair of goals and recording one assist. She was the third-highest point scorer on the team.

A two-time Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll member, Reid added an Academic All-District honor to her resume. The senior from Eagle Mountain, Utah, played in all 18 matches for the Cyclones and tallied her first career point against Houston, assisting on a Salomé Prat goal.
