University of Minnesota-Morris Soccer Player Maddy Gerber Earns NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship
Morris, MN – Wednesday, Mar. 10, 2010
Maddy Gerber (Mahtomedi, MN) a senior and two year captain for the University of Minnesota-Morris women’s soccer team has earned a prestigious NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship.
When Gerber graduates this spring she will be taking with her a prestigious NCAA postgraduate scholarship for her performance on the pitch as well as in the classroom. She is one of only 29 women nationwide in all three NCAA divisions who received an award for the 2009 fall season. For her dedication to scholarship and athletics, Gerber has earned $7,500 to put toward expenses for graduate school.
In four years she has maintained a flawless 4.0 grade point average with a double major in biology and psychology and a chemistry minor while playing four years of soccer in which she accumulated 81 points, made all-conference three times, and conference all-academic four times.
“Participating in college in athletics taught me the value of hard work, team play and determination,” said Gerber. “These principles can get you very far in both athletics and academics. Working on a lab report with three other students is not unlike working with ten teammates on the soccer field. In both cases you must communicate well and work cooperatively toward a common goal.”
