Comsia Named ACC Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of The Year

North Carolina senior defender Alex Comsia has been named the 2018 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and leads the sport's All-ACC Academic team, released Thursday by the league office.

Comsia, a business administration major, is joined on the team by Nils Bruening, also a business major. Both Comsia and Bruening graduated from UNC in December after stellar academic and athletic careers.

Both players also earned Academic All-America third team honors this fall and were invited to the MLS Player Combine earlier this month.

Comsia, a native of North Vancouver, British Columbia, was the 2018 ACC Defender of the Year and a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy.
