Ozimek Named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American For The Third Time

Ozimek is the second student-athlete in Charlotte 49ers history to be named Academic All-American three times

Nov. 20, 2007

Charlotte, NC - Charlotte 49ers women's soccer senior midfielder Lindsey Ozimek was named to the first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American women's soccer team, selected by CoSIDA. Ozimek has been named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American in each of the last three seasons and has earned first-team honors the past two years.

Ozimek, who has a 4.00 GPA in Special Education, joins former 49ers track and field standout Sharonda Johnson (2005-07) as the only two student-athletes in school history to be named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans three times.

She scored the final goal in her career against Clemson in the NCAA Tournament which moved her into a tie for the team lead in goals with six. She became the first recipient of the A-10 Midfielder of the Year award this season after leading the A-10 with 13 assists. Earlier, this year she became the program's all-time leader in career assists and she finished her career with a 43 assists.

Ozimek, who was a three-time All-Atlantic 10 and Atlantic 10 All-Tournament selection, played an integral role in helping the 49ers win 45 games and capture two A-10 regular-season titles and the 2007 A-10 Tournament title during her stellar four-year career.
