Casey, Busch Among the Best on – and off – the Field
Senior Erin Casey of the women’s soccer team and senior Matthew Busch of the men’s soccer team were named second-team Academic All-Americans by the College. Sports Information Directors of America. The Academic All- American honor is the highest honor a student-athlete can achieve, which recognizes both athletic and academic ability. Casey helped the women’s soccer team go 17-1-2 and win the Landmark Conference title this season while pursuing her master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting. Busch led the men’s soccer team to a 15-4-1 record and a Landmark Conference title while pursuing a degree in neuroscience with a minor in math. They become the 33rd and 34th student-athletes in Scranton history to be named Academic All-American.

Campbell finished the season with a team-high 10 goals.
