NSCAA Team Academic Awards

The Omaha men's soccer team received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award for 2011-12 after posting a cumulative GPA of 3.02.

This year marked the first time the Mavericks were eligible for the award after completing one full academic year as a program. To qualify for the award, a team must have a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale).

Both the Maverick men's and women's teams received the award, making UNO one of just four Summit League institutions to have both soccer teams recognized.
