The awards continue to roll in for Fordham midfielder Jessica Widmann (East Meadow, N.Y.) on Tuesday, as the graduate student was named to the 2015 Academic All-America® Division I Soccer team, earning Third Team honors, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
 
Widmann is the second women's soccer player to earn Academic All-America honors, joining Leah Jerome, who was named a Third Team Academic All-American in 2006.
 
A two-year captain, Widmann wrapped up a stellar career at Fordham with a career year in 2015.  She was named First Team All-Atlantic 10 after leading the team in goals (12), assists (5), and points (29), while tying for the team-lead in game-winning goals with five. 

 
The 12 goals and 29 points are tied for the third-most by a Ram in a single season.  She earned Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week honors once this year, and climbed into top six all-time at Fordham in career goals (6th – 19), assists (T2nd – 14), points (6^th – 52), and games started (T1st – 75).  Widmann was Fordham's first First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection since 2010.
 
Widmann was also a key component in the Rams' drive to the Atlantic 10 Championship game for the third time in team history.  She netted the game-tying goal in the Atlantic 10 semifinal against George Mason, and later notched the clinching penalty kick marker to send the Rams' into the A-10 final.  For her efforts in the tournament, she was selected to the All-Championship team.
