BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Ashley Leonard of the WKU soccer team has been voted to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District team. The award honors student-athletes for their work in the classroom as well as their accomplishments on the field.
It's Leonard's second academic award this season after earning C-USA All-Academic Second Team honors earlier this week.
The junior is an international business major at WKU. The Troy, Michigan native earned the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Medal in addition to All-Academic Team honors.
Leonard was the Lady Toppers' leading goal scorer for 2019, notching eight on the year. That mark is tied for the ninth most in a WKU season. She came in clutch for WKU on multiple occasions, scoring the game-winner four different times and making two penalty kicks for her team. Her four game winners that came against Middle Tennessee, Alabama A&M, Louisiana Tech and Marshall are tied for the fourth most in a single season by a WKU player.
The award is voted on by sports information directors (SIDs) around the nation. The All-District teams become the ballot for Academic All-American honors that will be voted on at a later date.
