The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) tabbed its Scholar-Athletes of the Year and also named eight repeat winners and a Rhodes Scholar among the 67 collegiate players for the 2000 NSCAA/Adidas College Scholar All-America Teams.

The University of Richmond's Jaclyn Raveia earned the women's scholar-athlete of the year and Stanford University's Ryan Nelsen was the men's award winner.

A senior co-captain, Raveia helped Richmond to the best season in its five-year history. A 13-7 record included the Spiders' first trip to the NCAA tournament and the school's first NCAA postseason win. She is the fifth player in Colonial Athletic Association history to receive first-team all-CAA honors four times.

In addition to this award, Nelsen earned NSCAA/Adidas first-team all-America and Pacific-10 Conference player of the year honors. A senior tri-captain, he led Stanford to an 18-3-1 record and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, starting all 22 games. He also is a member of the New Zealand national team.

Five men's players made repeat appearances on the team: goalkeepers Scott Blount of Furman University, Ryan Wittstruck of the University of Puget Sound and Adam Zapala of Stanford; defender Kevin Knott of the College of William and Mary; and Stanford forward Corey Woolfolk.

Also among those selected on the men's side was Ian Klaus, a junior history and English major at Washington University (Missouri). Klaus was one of only 32 students named as a Rhodes Scholar, among the most prestigious academic awards presented.

For the women, three players earned repeat selection: defenders Cheryl Bates of Mesa State College and Carolyn Schifftner of California Polytechnic State University; and midfielder Tiffany Ewart of Coker College.

To be considered for the team, each student-athlete must be at least a junior, start at least half of the team's games and make a significant contribution, and have a minimum 3.300 cumulative grade-point average (4.000 scale).
