Verizon and the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) have named Academic All-America teams in football, men's and women's soccer, and women's volleyball for 2002.

In football, two statistically minded quarterbacks with a penchant for scoring high on the field and in the classroom highlight the Verizon Academic All-America Team.

Kliff Kingsbury from Texas Tech University was named Team Member of the Year in the university division and Susquehanna University's Mike Bowman earned similar honors in the college division.

Kingsbury, who holds 39 Texas Tech records, 13 Big 12 Conference marks and seven NCAA records, has 12,054 passing yards, 11,918 total offense yards and 1,199 completions in his career.

Bowman, who maintained a perfect grade-point average as a mathematics major, completed 165 passes for 2,212 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior. In four years as a starter, Bowman holds Susquehanna records for completions (609), yards (8,160) and touchdowns (63).

Men's, women's soccer

In soccer, Duquesne University and Otterbein College placed three players each on the men's college division team. Otterbein's selections included Michael Lochner, the college division Team Member of the Year.

Matt Osborne, a forward for George Washington University, was named Team Member of the Year in the university division.

On the women's soccer team, nine of the 33 university division players selected have perfect grade-point averages, including the University of Hartford's Katharina Lindner, who was named Team Member of the Year.

Ten of the 33 college division student-athletes also sport perfect grade-point averages, including William Penn University goalkeeper Sarah Ridley, who was named the college division Team Member of the Year.

Women's volleyball

Perfect grade-point averages also were the norm on the Verizon women's volleyball team, as four of the six first-teamers in the college division posted unblemished academic slates, including Team Member of the Year Laura Hall from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

In the university division, outside hitter Karla Kucerkova from American University was named Team Member of the Year. Kucerkova was this year's Patriot League Player of the Year.

The 39 volleyball players selected to this year's team have a combined grade point average of 3.930, and the combined average of the 12 first-team members is just under 3.980.

The Verizon Academic All-America Teams are selected a vote of the 1,800-member CoSIDA. Nominees must be varsity starters or key reserve and maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.200 (4.000 scale). Since the program's inception in 1952, more than 12,000 student-athletes have been recognized.
