Emory University junior goalkeeper Liz Arnold was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), based on her athletic and academic performance, both this season and over her career as an Eagle.

This was the second Academic All-District honor for Arnold, who has claimed each of her two eligible seasons.  By virtue of being named to the Capital One Academic All-District team, Arnold will be placed on the ballot for the Academic all-America Team.  The first-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced on Friday, November 21^st.

Academically, Arnold is a two-time Academic All-UAA honoree with a 3.897 cumulative grade point average as a Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology and Psychology dual major.

Voting for the Academic All-District team is conducted by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).  Emory is part of District 5, which includes Division III schools in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
