ORANGE, Calif. – Three Chapman soccer players have been recognized as Academic All-District by the College Sports Communicators. Shannon Coyle and Maia Mills earned the distinction for the women's soccer team while Tobi Howe represented the men's soccer team.

The Academic All-District award honors student-athletes for their performances on the field and the classroom. All nominees must be key contributors to their teams with at least a 3.5 GPA and have been enrolled at their school for one full year. All nominees earn the Academic All-District distinction and will go under consideration for Academic All-American.

She returned to the Panthers after an early season injury kept her off the pitch for much of her junior season and maintained a 3.93 GPA. Mills started all but one match in goal for Chapman, making 59 saves and posting a 1.19 goals against average with three shutouts. She owns a 3.57 GPA.

Howe returned to the Panthers for a fifth year to help lead the team to a SCIAC Championship. The Team Captain scored eight goals for Chapman with two assists while keeping a GPA of 3.78.
