FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Wrapping up the 2020-21 academic year on a high note, Nova Southeastern women’s soccer players Kaitlyn Chomko and Brianna King have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team.
The Sharks’ two honorees rank tops among the 11 schools in the Sunshine State Conference.
Together throughout their careers, both Chomko and King have helped lead NSU to an impressive combined record of 42-15-5, which included the program’s first-ever NCAA South Region Championship in 2019 in addition to an SSC Regular Season title in 2017.
Chomko concluded her playing career with a collective seven goals and three assists, none more memorable than her score in the Sharks’ Round of 32 upset over Mississippi College in the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
Off the field, the Chicago native recently graduated with an impressive 3.60 GPA in Biology, with plans to further her education at NSU’s College of Dental Medicine. Chomko was also a 2019-20 D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award recipient, a member of the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society, and a three-time Fall SSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll selection.
King, meanwhile, played an instrumental role on NSU’s South Region Championship defense that surrendered just 0.595 goals per game in 2019 as part of a program-record 14 shutouts.
Just weeks removed from graduation, the Canadian earned her bachelor’s degree in Marketing with a 3.52 cumulative GPA. She has been a four-time member of the Fall SSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, and like Chomko, is a part of the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society.
Taking advantage of the NCAA’s added year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, King will be back with the Sharks in 2021.
Both Chomko and King will now advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced in early July.
