ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure women’s soccer juniors Courtney Bosse and Nicole Markert have been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District team.

The duo made the District 1 second team and are two of just 36 players that were named to the three All-District teams. The District 1 teams are made of up of Division I schools in the Northeast.

An engineering physics major with a 3.6 cumulative grade-point average (GPA), Bosse currently leads the team with 15 points and seven goals heading into the final weekend of regular season play. Four of her seven goals have been game-winners, ranking her in a tie for second in the A-10 in that category. Bosse has notched four of her seven goals in conference play and was named the first Player of the Week of the season after her two-goal performance against Syracuse.

The conference portion of the schedule has been Markert’s time to shine, as the third-year goalie has posted a school record five shutouts in A-10 action. Markert currently stands at 7-7 on the season with a 1.05 goals against average and 67 saves. The Russell, Ohio native recorded three consecutive shutouts to begin at A-10 play, the longest shutout streak in program history. Markert also sports at 3.97 GPA as a math major.

The Academic All-District teams are chosen by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). To be eligible, a student-athlete must carry a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 and be either a starter or a key reserve on his or her team.

Bosse and Markert will lead the Brown and White into a pair crucial A-10 home games this weekend, beginning with La Salle on Friday at 3 p.m. St. Bonaventure will then host Fordham on Sunday on Senior Day.
