Crush women’s soccer standout Angie Petrakis named to CCCAA Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll
Clovis Community College student-athletes are not only successful on the field, but in the classroom as well. A shining example is Crush women's soccer standout Angie Petrakis.
Petrakis was recently selected to the 2021-22 Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA). Her achievement will be recognized at the CCCAA Celebration of Scholar-Athletes on March 29 as part of the annual CCCAA Convention held in Sacramento.
The Scholar Athlete Award is the highest student achievement honor awarded annually by the CCCAA. The winners, along with the rest of the annual honor roll, are selected by the CCCAA Awards Committee from nominations made by community colleges throughout California. Petrakis was one of just 17 student-athletes in the state chosen for this year's honor.
Candidates for the Scholar Athlete Award must carry a minimum grade point average of 3.5 and must also show outstanding leadership as an athlete, student, or in other college and community activities, as well as have participated in two seasons of sport at a California community college.
Petrakis was a two-year starter for the Crush women's soccer team, helping lead her squad to the Northern California Regional Playoffs both seasons (2021, 2019). She was also twice named the Central Valley Conference Goalkeeper of the Year during both her seasons of play.
As a sophomore during the 2021 fall season, Petrakis allowed just 16 goals over 21 games (0.81 goals against average) and totaled seven shutouts.
While at Clovis, Petrakis compiled a 3.79 GPA. She is currently attending California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) and will graduate soon. Petrakis plans to apply to graduate programs to pursue a career in athletic training.
This past fall women's soccer season (2022), Petrakis mentored Crush student-athletes and served as an assistant coach.
