Ali Alamery was named to the Academic All-District Team after starting all 20 games with 63 saves and only 13 goals allowed for a GAA of 0.67 en route to All-UAA honors in goal. The sophomore recorded 9 clean sheets on the season as he helped lead the Maroons to a 12-3-5 record overall on the year. The 63 saves and 0.67 GAA for the East Lansing, Michigan native rank as the sixth-best in a single season in program history, and his nine clean sheets are good for the fifth-most in a single season at UChicago.

Alex Gomas earned Academic All-District recognition after captaining the Maroons to a top-8 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season and adding his second career All-UAA honors. Gomas scored three goals from the wing-back position while being the only UChicago field player to start all 20 games with 1,089 minutes played. The Atlanta, Georgia native wraps up his career as a Maroon with 56 starts in 66 games after appearing in all 57 games during the past three seasons. He also scored the game-winning goal in the opening round NCAA Tournament victory over DePauw.

Evan Kanellos garnered Academic All-District honors after captaining the Maroons to a top-8 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season. Kanellos tallied four goals and one assist with 19 starts and 1,588 minutes played, the most of any field player for UChicago. All four of the goals scored for the Glenview, Illinois native came from the penalty spot which ranks as the second-most penalty kick goals in a single-season for the Maroons.

Chase Perry was selected for the Academic All-District Team after leading the Maroons with 5 goals and adding 1 assist for 11 total points. After only appearing in one game as a freshman, Perry provided significant minutes as a substitute for the Maroons' attack. The Boone, North Carolina native tallied five goals, two of which came in UAA action, including the game-winning goal in the 3-2 win over Brandeis.

Edward Wu earned Academic All-District honors after leading the Maroons with 5 goals and 5 assists for 15 total points this season en route to being the lone 1st-Team All-UAA selection for the Maroons. Wu started 19 of 20 games for UChicago and played 1,294 minutes while leading the Maroons as the number eight. Through two seasons at UChicago, the Cary, North Carolina native has tallied 9 goals and 7 assists with two multi-goal performances including his brace against NYU earlier this year.

Max Weene was tabbed with Academic All-District honors after being named a 2nd-Team All-UAA selection with a team-high 5 assists and 3 goals with 11 total points. Weene was one of seven players to appear in all 20 games for the Maroons, and the junior played the third-most minutes of any UChicago field player with 1,392. The Los Angeles, California native has now appeared in all 37 games over the past two seasons with career totals of 5 goals and 9 assists for 19 points.

CSC Academic All-District Team honorees are selected by the national organization based on combined academic and athletic performance. Nominees must have a GPA above 3.50 in at least their sophomore year and have played in 90% of their team's games or have started 67% of their team's games.
