Three Men's Soccer Players Earn College Sports Communicators Academic All-District® Honors

STANDISH, Maine – The 2022 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® men's soccer teams have been released and three Saint Joseph's College players have been honored.

Grad students Kyle Cocciardi (Manchester, N.H.) and Jacob Rockwood (Hopkinton, N.H.) and senior Jarred Greenleaf (Scarborough, Maine) have been recognized for achieving academic excellence. To be honored, a student-athlete must have reached sophomore status, be a starter or major contributor, and have at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA.

Cocciardi, who graduated last May with a degree in Business & Sports Management, is currently enrolled in the college's Master of Business Administration graduate program. This fall he played and started in all 17 of the Monks' games and, as a midfielder, netted a goal with an assist for three total points.
