MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Sophomore Marcus Caldeira of the West Virginia University men's soccer team has been named a First-Team Academic All-American by College Sports Communicators, as announced by the organization on Tuesday.
On the field this season, Caldeira was tied for the team lead and 16th in the country with 12 goals while also adding three assists. He helped the Mountaineers get off to a strong start in 2023 as he scored seven goals in the first six games before having the best individual performance of the season for a WVU player when he scored a hat trick against No. 1 Marshall.
Off the field, the Mississauga, Ontario native has a 4.0 GPA while majoring in finance.
Caldeira is one of just five sophomores to be named an Academic All-American this year and the only one on the first team. He is the 13th Academic All-America selection in WVU history and the eighth different Mountaineer. It is also the seventh time that a West Virginia player has been named to the first team.
This accomplishment adds to his list of accolades this season which includes College Soccer News All-America First Team, United Soccer Coaches All-America Second Team, United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region First Team and All-Sun Belt First Team.
