WALTHAM, Mass. –Brandeis University women's soccer forward Juliette Carreiro of Upton, Massachusetts, has been selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Division III Academic All-District Volleyball team for the 2021 season. With this honor, her second Academic All-District selection in a row, Carreiro is now eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

The 2021-22 Academic All-District® Women's Soccer Team, selected by CoSIDA, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® program separately recognizes soccer honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. To be eligible for the team, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.30 grade-point average and be a significant contributor to their team.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in early December.

Carreiro was the Judges' leading scorer this season, with six goals and eight assists for 20 points. Four of her eight goals were game-winners. Carreiro tied for the University Athletic Association (UAA) lead in assists and game-winners and is seventh in points. For her career, Carreiro has 15 goals and 15 assists for 45 points. She was an All-UAA selection as a sophomore.

Carreiro has helped the Judges to an 11-4-2 record and a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament, their first since her rookie season. The Judges enter the tournament ranked #20 in Division III. They will face Farmingdale State in the opening round at MIT on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.

Off the court, Carreiro owns a perfect 4.0 grade-point average as a double major in psychology and biology. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa as a junior.
