TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- Two members of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology soccer programs earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American honors in results released today by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Senior Kathleen Stynes (Okemos, Mich.) earned second-team College Division honors on the women's side, while men's junior Matt Trowbridge (Fort Collins, Colo.) was a third-team honoree.

Stynes and Trowbridge become the 65th and 66th Academic All-Americans in Rose-Hulman athletics history.  This also marks the 22nd consecutive year that at least one Engineer student-athlete has been named an Academic All-American.

Stynes and Trowbridge were also the only members of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference to earn Academic All-American honors in men's and women's soccer.

The duo become the fifth and sixth Academic All-American honorees in the history of Rose-Hulman soccer.  Mark Schulz earned back-to-back Academic All-American honors in 1989 and 1990 for the men's program, while Jessica Farmer (2003) and Jessica Gross (2004) captured second-team accolades on the women's side.

Stynes started all 16 games at defender with a pair of assists, after earning first-team all-conference recognition for each of her previous college seasons.

The two-time academic all-district honoree spent the 2005 season in Germany as part of an exchange program.  The mechanical engineering major returned this season to help lead a defensive unit that outscored the opposition 40-19 this fall.

The Rose-Hulman women's soccer team finished with a 12-4 record for the fewest losses and highest winning percentage in a season in school history.

Trowbridge ranked second in scoring for a Rose-Hulman team that established school records with a 15-4-1 mark and a second place finish in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.  The civil engineering major tallied eight goals and seven assists this season.

Trowbridge ranks fourth in school history with 24 goals and stands fourth all-time with 15 career assists, with one year remaining in his career.
