DALLAS – Middle Tennessee women’s soccer student-athlete Peyton DePriest earned CoSIDA Academic All-America second team honors, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America this week.
 
DePriest is just the second Blue Raider in program history to be named an Academic All-American after Paige Goeglein was named to the first team in 2012.
 
DePriest earned her bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in December with a 3.94 GPA. She is currently pursuing her master's degree in Leisure, Sport, and Tourism Management.
 
Despite playing just six games this season, DePriest led the Blue Raiders with four goals, including three game-winning goals, the most in C-USA. For her career, the Franklin, Tennessee native has a MTSU-record 46 goals, one shy of the C-USA record.
 
Her All-America selection adds to her list of accomplishments this season as she has also been named CoSIDA Academic All-District, Untied Soccer Coaches All-South Region First Team, All-Conference USA First Team, and the Conference USA All-Academic Team.
