GREENVILLE, N.C. - Nicole Moore, a recent graduate of East Carolina University and the women's soccer program, has been selected as a recipient of the Conference USA Scholar-Athlete Award, according to an announcement by league commissioner Britton Banowsky on Monday.
Moore is a two-time C-USA All-Academic Team honoree and recently earned her bachelor's degree in exercise physiology with a cumulative GPA of 4.0. The Rutherfordton, N.C., native was named to the East Carolina Chancellor's List every semester she attended the university and was one of three co-captains for the Pirates last season, helping the program to its first-ever C-USA regular season title. Moore has also earned C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll status four times while garnering three C-USA Academic Medals. Additionally, she gained acceptance into the medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill, beginning in the fall.
The C-USA Scholar-Athlete Award is presented to the top student-athlete in each conference-sponsored sport and is based on academic achievement (GPA), athletic achievement and service. Nine of C-USA's 12 institutions produced at least one scholar athlete winner.
