AUSTIN, Texas – NC State women's soccer's Tziarra King has been named a CoSIDA Academic All-American for the second straight year, as announced by the publication on Thursday afternoon.
She becomes the only player in program history to earn multiple All-America honors from CoSIDA, and second in history to earn multiple All-America honors from any publication. Laura Kerrigan was an NSCAA Scholar All-American from 1986-88.
King, a Sicklerville, N.J. native, will graduate later this month with a 4.00 grade-point average and nutrition science degree.
The four-time All-ACC and all-region honoree recently wrapped up her career with 88 starts, 48 goals and 115 points, and ranks third all-time in the Wolfpack record books in all three categories. She remained among the top three in the ACC and top 35 in the NCAA this season in goals (13) and points (32) en route to becoming the second four-time All-ACC selection in the history of the program behind Thori Staples Bryan (1992-95).
She, along with the rest of the senior class, helped the Pack earn its fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament at-large bid and reach the Sweet Sixteen for the third time in four years. The squad additionally finished fifth in the regular season ACC standings and made its second ACC Championship semifinal appearance in the past three seasons.
