SAN FRANCISCO - STANFORD’s Sierra Enge has been named the Pac-12 Women’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the 2022 season, announced by the Conference today. Presented to one athlete in each of the 24 Pac-12 sponsored sports, the award was established to highlight collegiate student athletes that go above and beyond in both academics and their respective sports.

With an undergrad GPA of 3.88 and a graduate GPA of 4.06, Enge has excelled in the classroom in her five years, earning her two Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll honors (2020-21; 2021) and two CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team honors (2021; 2022).
