COSIDA Release 

VESTAL, N.Y. – Graduate student forward Pascal Trappe has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (COSIDA) Academic All-District Men's Soccer Team. He earned the honor by virtue of both his academic and athletic accomplishments.

Trappe has scored a season-high four goals for the Bearcats this season, two of which have been game winners. He graduated with honors from Binghamton last spring with his degree in human development and is currently working towards his master's degree in public administration.

"We are very happy for Pascal," head coach Paul Marco said. "He has done great both on the field and in the classroom and is very deserving of this award."

The COSIDA All-District Teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. All districts have a team for the each of the three NCAA Division levels as well as the College Division.

All of the honorees advance to the national ballot, which will be voted on later this month. There will be first-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honors for each of the three NCAA Division levels as well as the College Division.

Trappe is the third Binghamton men's soccer player to earn COSIDA Academic All-District honors during the program's 15-year NCAA Division I era. He joins Charles Darkwah (2004) and Chris Terry (2009). Darkwah went on to be named a COSIDA Academic All-American that same season.

In Binghamton's 15-year NCAA Division I era, the athletic department has posted four COSIDA Academic All-Americans and has had 16 Academic All-District selections.

Binghamton (8-5-2, 3-1-1 AE) travels to Stony Brook for a Friday match at 7 p.m.
