DURHAM, N.C.—It is well known that Duke University seniors Cody Brinkman and Markus Fjørtoft excel on the soccer field for the Blue Devils. However, their efforts on the soccer field are only surpassed by their work in the classroom and they have been recognized for such by earning to the CoSIDA Academic All-District III first team honors.
It is the first career honor for Fjørtoft and the second consecutive for Brinkman as Duke has two of the 10 representatives from the ACC. Syracuse, Notre Dame, Clemson and Duke each had two players land first-team recognition.
