PHILADELPHIA – Putting in the work in the classroom and on the pitch. College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced its Academic All-District honorees on Tuesday, with three student-athletes from the nationally ranked University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team garnering the award.
 
Patrick Cayelli, Connor Dawson, and Oliver Pratt represent Penn on the CSC Academic All-District list.
 
Midfielder Cayelli, who earned unanimous First Team All-Ivy for the first time in his career, is having a breakout senior season, leading the Ivy League in assists (8), goals (9), shots on goal (25), and points (26). Cayelli's 26 points are a career-high for the senior, headed by a six-point performance and hat trick in Penn's 6-1 win over William & Mary from October and 11 total points in Ivy League play. Cayelli also works hard off the field, earning Academic All-Ivy for his performance in the classroom.
 
Defender Dawson landed a spot on the first team after leading a Quaker backline that recorded only 12 goals and 72 shots on net. The junior has docked a team-high 1,519 minutes and has started in all 17 matches. On the offensive end of the field, Dawson has tallied a pair of assists so far this year.
 
Defender Pratt earned Second Team All-Ivy for the first time after being a mainstay on the backline in 17 matches and 1,467 minutes this year. The senior led a group that allowed only 12 shots to go past Penn's keepers. The Miami native also helped the Quakers on the offensive end of the field, scoring ten points, including three game-winning goals.
