Cambridge, Mass. - University at Albany's Cate Crenson was named to the America East Conference All-Academic Women's Soccer Team, as announced on Wednesday, Nov. 4 by the league office. The sophomore goalkeeper helped lead the Great Danes to their highest single-season win total since 1988 and first-ever berth in the America East postseason tournament. Crenson, a pre-medicine major with a 3.78 cumulative grade point average, was a member of the America East Conference Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll and UAlbany Athletic Director's Honor Roll last year. She posted a 1.48 goals against average, an .807 save percentage and four shutout victories this season after finishing with a 2.72 goals against average and a .692 save percentage with no shutouts as a freshman. Crenson, who blanked three America East opponents this fall, also broke a Division I program record when she made eight saves to register her fourth career clean sheet in a 2-0 win at Stony Brook on Oct. 18. To be nominated for the distinction, student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve for their team and participate in at least 50 percent of their team's games or competitions. In the classroom, student-athletes must have a 3.30 GPA and have completed at least one calendar year at their institution.
