IRVING, TEXAS (November 2, 2016) -- After the playing season concluded for the FIU women's soccer team on Sunday, sophomore defender Emily Baragar (Virginia Beach, Virginia) was named to the Conference USA InTouch Credit Union Women's Soccer All-Academic Team Wednesday.
Baragar was near perfect in the classroom in her first year at FIU during the 2015-16 academic year, on her course of study towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering at FIU. She was the team leader in GPA among returning players, and plans to become an engineer upon graduation.
Playing in 16 of the team's 17 contests this fall, Baragar produced the game-winning assist in overtime to help the Panthers grab a road Conference USA win at Middle Tennessee on October 2 for her first career point.
