Full List of the CoSIDA Academic All-District Teams
 
Florence, Ala. - (November 7, 2019) - The 2019 CoSIDA Academic All-District® Men's Soccer Teams have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.  Among the District 1 honorees is Fordham senior forward Johannes Pieles (Langenbach, Germany/J.C.F. GutsMuths Sportgymnasium Jena (Syracuse)).  He is the first Fordham men's soccer player to receive Academic All-District honors since Eric Ohlendorf in 2017.
 
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be announced in December.
 
Pieles, who holds a 3.94 GPA in Finance, has appeared in 17 of 18 games this season for the Rams, making 16 starts.  He has recorded two goals for four points on the year and notched one game-winning goal.  That game-winning tally came recently in a victory over George Mason on October 26th.  He also ranks second on the team in shots (43).

 
This is Pieles' second Academic All-District honor in his career, having received the same honor in 2017, while playing at Syracuse University.
 
The Academic All-District® teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and College Division. The College Division includes all NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
