TOWSON, Md. – Forward Danielle Au has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America Third Team, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced today. The senior garnered third-team honors after previously earning selections to the All-District Team in 2012 and 2013.

Au is the eighth Gamecock, and ninth overall, to earn the honor in the program’s history. South Carolina has now had a student-athlete selected to the Academic All-America team in seven of the last nine years.

A native of Suwanee, Ga., Au was second on the team this season in both goals (7) and assists (4). She concluded her career ranked fourth all-time in goals (23) and points (59) at South Carolina. Au also ranks third in game-winning goals (11) and seventh in assists (13). In the first week of the 2013 season, she tallied one of her game-winning goals in a 1-0 victory over then-No. 7 Duke to give program its first win on its home field over a Top 10 team since 2004.

Au currently holds a 3.90 GPA in International Business and Management with a minor in Chinese Studies. She has been a member of the Dean’s List five times at South Carolina and was named to the President’s List once.
