CONWAY, Ark. – Hendrix College men's soccer senior Tresor Mukiza was selected to the Capital One Academic All-America Division III Third Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, on Tuesday.

The midfielder from Kigali, Rwanda started in 14 games and scored two goals and had two assists before suffering a season-ending injury. He helped the Warriors to a school-record 10 wins this season.

Mukiza has a 4.00 GPA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and was one of six selected with a perfect GPA.

“Tresor is very deserving of this prestigious award,” said Hendrix head coach Doug Mello. “He has always been diligent in his studies while being a major influence on our improved squad in the midfield. Tresor joins a bevy of Warrior players who have been honored for their exploits both on the pitch and in the classroom during recent years.  We are proud of his accomplishments.”

Mukiza joins former Warrior Duncan Keegan who earned Academic All-America First Team honors in 2011.

To be eligible for the Academic All-America Team, a student-athlete must be in his second year of competition at their current institution and have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average, and had to be selected to their respective All-District First Teams.
