Susan Rea, a chemical engineering major with a near-perfect grade-point average, heads the list of 10 Princeton athletes chosen to the fall Academic All-Ivy League team.
Rea, a Palo Alto, Calif., native with a 3.99 GPA, started every game of her four-year women's soccer career. A second-team All-Ivy League selection this year, she helped take the Tigers to the NCAA tournament.
Joining Rea on the women's side was another Palo Alto native who helped her team to the NCAA tournament, volleyball player Emily Brown. Also like Rea, Brown, a sociology major, was a second-team All-Ivy choice.
The other three women's winners were field hockey player Robin Dwyer, cross country runner Courtney Ebersole and soccer player Blair Smith. Dwyer, a political economics major from Virginia Beach, is a three-time All-Ivy selection and two-time regional All-America. Ebersole, a psychology major from Lebanon, Pa., was Princeton's top finisher in all but one race, while Smith, a history major from Reston, Va., started all 18 games.
Matt Striebel, who was honored last spring with the lacrosse team, was named Academic All-Ivy this season with the soccer team. Striebel, a junior english major from Gill, Mass., had four assists in soccer while starting 17 of 18 games for the Tigers' outright Ivy League championship team.
David Ferrara, a senior economics major from Ramsey, N.J., was a two-time first-team All-Ivy selection as a defensive end for the football team. Ferrara, a tri-captain this year, is Princeton's career leader with 28.5 sacks.
Two members of the sprint football team were also selected. Mike Pagnotto, a senior chemical engineering major from Pittsburgh, was named first-team All-Collegiate Sprint Football League, while teammate Brian Edlow, a history of sciences major from New York, led the Tigers with 13 receptions.
Marshall Roslyn, a sophomore from Philadelphia, was one of the leading scorers for the water polo team.
The Academic All-Ivy League program honors five men and five women from each school in the fall, winter and spring.
