IRVING, Texas – Gamecock newcomers Danny Deakin and Lee Hogge both garnered Conference USA Academic Medals, the league released on Wednesday. The duo both earned C-USA Commissioner Honor Roll spots on Tuesday.

Medals are given to those C-USA student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better.

Deakin adds to his awards accolades from the fall, as he gained first-team All-C-USA and first-team National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Southeast Region accolades in the fall. Both Deakin and Hogge will be eligible for the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll, which is normally released in July.

The Gamecocks finished last season ranked 22nd in the country according to the NSCAA and advanced into the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the 21st berth in the event under head coach Mark Berson.
