Decorah, Iowa – Adam Pyzdrowski, a 2006 graduate of Hopkins High School, has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VII Men’s Soccer Team as a first-team selection. All first-team selections from eight regions move on to the Academic All-America ballot.

This is an annual award sponsored by ESPN The Magazine and the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). This award is presented to student-athletes who excel both in the classroom and on the field of competition. They must maintain a grade point average of 3.20 or greater and be a major contributor to their soccer team. Sports information directors nominate and vote on the athletes selected. Forty-eight Luther student-athletes have earned Academic All-America honors.

Pyzdrowski was one of 11 players that were named to the All-District VII first team that included student-athletes from the NCAA II, III and NAIA.

Pyzdrowski completed the 2009 soccer season leading the Norse in scoring. He produced six goals and added three assists for a total of 15 points. His six goals increased his career total to 30 that ranks tenth on Luther’s all-time list.

Pyzdrowski, who is also a three-time Iowa Conference academic all-conference honoree (3.5 gpa or higher), is an Accounting and Spanish double major who has accumulated a grade point average of 3.88.

He is the son of Paul and Karen Pyzdrowski of Minnetonka, Minn.
