To take a break from all the celebrity news, I decided to talk about a couple of local stories. UNC senior soccer player Kristi Eveland received the Elite 88 award Thursday at college station in Texas. For those of you who have never heard of the Elite 88 award, it is an award connecting academics to athletics, it takes the highest GPA of all of the soccer players from the final fours teams, and likewise with all other sports. The player with the highest GPA is selected to receive the award. Kristi Eveland is a senior enrolled in the Kenan-Flagler School of Business Administration with a GPA of 3.96 and a four year starter on the women's soccer team. Eveland is certainly deserving of the award, and has been an important factor in the UNC soccer team's success. They will play for the national championship once again tomorrow against undefeated Stanford.
