A program best five UT soccer student-athletes were named to the 2006 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI University teams as voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors Society of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday, Nov. 2. Senior Amy Burlingham (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Karen Haight (Beaverton, Ore.) were named to the first team while senior Priscilla Fite (Irving, Texas), Stephanie Logterman (Austin, Texas) and Kelsey Carpenter (Allen, Texas) were second-team selections.
