ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Nate Seaberg, a senior on the Drake men's soccer team, has been named one of 11 members on the CoSIDA Academic All-American team, the organization announced Thursday. A native of Moline, Ill., Seaberg maintains a 4.0 GPA as a health sciences major.
 
For the third-straight year, the Missouri Valley Conference led the nation with five honorees, comprising nearly half of the 11-member team.

In addition to his success in the classroom, Seaberg excelled on the field. He logged 853 minutes while appearing in all 18 games and making nine starts. He scored a goal in Drake's 4-3 win over UNLV on Sept. 6 and tallied an assist against Valparaiso on Oct. 23.
