WAYNESBURG, PA—A former Grafton High School Lady Bearcat soccer player was recently named to the College Sports Communicators 2022 Academic All-District Women’s Soccer Team. 

Waynesburg University Junior, Jacinda Devart, a 2020 GHS graduate, was named as a standout student-athlete by the CSC. The All District Teams recognize the nation’s top student athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The program separately recognizes soccer honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. 

Devart, who carries a cumulative 3.65 GPA, is a Criminal Justice Administration major and plays in the Division III program at Waynesburg. This is her third year playing for the Yellow Jackets. Devart started in all 16 games she appeared in this season and earned two assists and a game-winning goal in her role as left back. She was also credited with notable performances two times by the Presidents’ Athletic Conference this season.

Academic All District honorees advance to the CSC Academic All America ballot. First  and second team Academic All America honorees will be announced in late December.
