CCSU men’s soccer junior captain Robert Cavener was awarded the CoSIDA/Entertainment and Sport Programming Network The Magazine Academic All-District I honor.
Cavener, who scored one goal and had eight assists this season, was not only a bright spot on the pitch, but also off of the pitch. Cavener, a finance major, has a GPA of 3.73, something he is very proud of.
“I am really pleased to have earned something for not only on the field, but off of the field as well,” Cavener said. “It’s always good to be recognized. Things aren’t always going well on the field, but it’s nice to be recognized, especially in the classroom, as well. It keeps you on track.”
Regarding being awarded the honor, it took Cavener a little while to find out that he was even selected.
He said, “I didn’t even realize I had it until my dad told me. He was first on the scene.”
Cavener, who has been co-captains with Eddie Floyd this year, was pleased with being officially named a team leader at the beginning of the season, and also praised the team’s other skipper.
“I have been happy with my overall performance. I was happy when I got the captaincy, and I feel that I’ve done a good job of it. Eddie’s done a good job of it as well,” Cavener said.
He will return to the team for the spring season, as well as the next fall season in 2010.
