University of Kentucky women’s soccer player Keri Boyce was named Academic All-District IV, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced. She was named second team, joining a gymnast, as Kentucky tied for the most selections with two.

The 1999 Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year was named as a third-team Great Lakes Region All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America this season, as well as Soccer Buzz All-Great Lakes Region second team. She has also been named SEC Player of the Week and to SoccerAmerica’s Team of the Week three times.
