WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University senior goalkeeper Ben Woodhouse of Suffield, Conn., has been selected as an Academic All-District first-team member by the College Sports Information Directors of America. He will now be eligible for Academic All-America honors.

Woodhouse, who was named All-University Athletic Association (UAA) Second Team yesterday, played the first 13 games of the season for the Judges before suffering an injury that forced him to miss the final three league games. In those four UAA games, he saved 23 of the 24 shots he faced, including a career-high 11 in a 2-0 win over Carnegie Mellon Oct. 7, and eight in a 1-0 overtime win against Emory on Oct. 15. Woodhouse's regular season ended with a 0.78 goals-against average – third-lowest in the conference - and 44 saves, fifth-most. His .958 save percentage and 0.27 GAA in UAA games were both the lowest in the league. Woodhouse was a first-team All-UAA selection as a sophomore and a second-team selection last year.

In the classroom, Woodhouse boasts a 3.92 grade-point average as an economics and business double major. He has been on the Dean's List every semester at Brandeis and has been named to three Academic All-UAA teams. Woodhouse also serves as an intramural sports supervisor and is a member of BMen, a Brandeis men's group organized to raise awareness of domestic violence issues.

Brandeis closed the regular season with a 13-4 record, ranked No. 19 in Division III by the United Soccer Coaches and No. 20 by D3soccer.com. The Judges earned a sixth-straight at-large berth to the NCAA tournament and the right to host for the fifth time. They will meet Western Connecticut State University in the first round on Saturday night at 5 p.m. Details for Brandeis's NCAA Regional can be found at http://www.brandeisjudges.com/sports/msoc/2017-18/ncaa/index.
