Cook, a 3.93 architectural engineering major and team captain, finished the season for the 8-8-1 Raiders as the team's leader in goals (9), points (22), assists (4) and game winning goals (3). He now moves on in consideration for the National Academic All-America team, which will be announced later this month.
In order to be nominated, the student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) for his/her career. An athlete is not eligible until he/she has reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his/her current institution (thus, true freshmen, red-shirt freshmen and ineligible transfers are not eligible). In the cases of transfers, graduate students and junior college graduates, the athlete must have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution to be eligible.
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) selects Academic All-America teams in 12 programs: football, women's volleyball, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's track & field/cross country, women's track & field/cross country, men's at-large and women's at-large. A first team, second team and third team are selected in both the university (Division I and I-AA) and college (Division II, III and NAIA) divisions. Football consists of just first and second teams.
