KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan women's soccer's Alex Ruffer has been voted Third Team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.
Ruffer, a senior from Lombard, Ill., becomes just the second student-athlete in program history to earn Academic All-American Honors. She joins Anina Cicerone, who was a First Team selection in 2011, in sharing the prestigious honor. Ruffer boasts a perfect 4.0 GPA in finance and was also named CoSIDA First Team Academic All-District.
