ESPN THE MAGAZINE ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT TEAMS -- CLICK HERE

Felicia FaisonWhitney HolmanAlex HildebrandtMINNEAPOLIS (11/3/08) -- Augsburg College soccer players Alex Hildebrandt (JR, St. Paul, Minn./Highland Park HS), Whitney Holman (JR, New Hope, Minn./Robbinsdale Armstrong HS) and Felicia Faison (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) were named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 5 teams for men's and women's soccer, it was announced recently.

Hildebrandt was named to the first team in men's soccer, while Holman earned first-team honors in women's soccer. Faison was named as a second-team selection in women's soccer. Hildebrandt earned Academic All-District honors for the second straight year, after earning second-team honors last season. Holman and Faison are both first-time Academic All-District honorees.

A defender, Hildebrandt is a finance major with a 3.86 grade-point average. He currently stands second on the Augsburg men's soccer team in scoring, with four goals and six assists for 14 points, including one game-winning goal and a penalty-kick goal. His six assists rank fifth-most among Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference players in overall statistics, and is a leader of a defense that has allowed just 10 goals in 18 regular-season games, with 10 shutouts -- both totals second-best among MIAC teams. In his two seasons at Augsburg (49 games, 47 starts), Hildebrandt has 10 goals and nine assists for 29 points, including three game-winning goals. He earned All-MIAC honorable-mention honors in 2006.

Augsburg's men's soccer team currently stands at 10-3-5 overall, 7-2-1 in MIAC play. The Auggies earned the No. 3 seed in the four-team MIAC postseason playoffs, qualifying for the playoffs for the second time in the last three years. The Auggies will travel to face No. 2-seed Gustavus in a playoff semifinal on Tuesday (11/4) at 2 p.m. in St. Peter, Minn.

A defender, Holman is a religion and psychology major with a 3.93 grade-point average. Holman finished her junior season with two goals and four assists for eight points, including one game-winning goal and a tying goal off a corner kick with one second remaining in regulation time in the Auggies' 2-1 overtime loss at Macalester last Friday. A player who converted from forward to defense midway through last season, Holman was an All-MIAC honorable-mention honoree last year. In her career (53 games, 53 starts), Holman has seven goals and eight assists for 22 career points.

Also a defender, Faison is an accounting major with a 3.74 grade-point average. Faison was a leader of an Auggie defense that allowed just 12 goals in the regular season -- second-lowest among MIAC teams in overall statistics -- with a conference-high 10 shutouts. An All-MIAC honorable-mention honoree in both 2006 and 2007, Faison started all 73 games in her career, with one goal and five assists for seven career points. Faison is a team co-captain this season.

Augsburg's women's soccer team finished 10-4-4 overall, 5-2-4 in MIAC play in 2008. The 10 victories marked Augsburg's fifth double-digit victory season in the last seven years.

The ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District team is part of the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America program, administered by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Top student-athletes from non-Division I programs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ontario and Manitoba are eligible for inclusion on the district team. Student-athletes must have a grade-point average above 3.30 (4.0 scale) and have outstanding athletic credentials. College sports information directors in the district vote for the teams.

First-team Academic All-District members advance to the Academic All-America ballot, voted on by a committee of CoSIDA members. The ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America soccer teams will be announced on Nov. 18-19.
