CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina sophomores Eddie Ababio and Bill Dworsky were honored Thursday for excellence on the field and in the classroom with spots on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III First Team for men's soccer as selected by members of College Sports Information Directors of America.
By virtue of their selection to the district's first team, both Tar Heels will be on the ballot for Academic All-America honors later this month. This marks the third straight season that Carolina has had an all-district selection.
The versatile Ababio is one of just two players to start all 16 games for the Tar Heels this season. While predominantly playing outside back, he has tallied six points on two goals and two assists. Ababio scored four points on a goal and two assists against High Point Oct. 23 and added a goal against Campbell Wednesday. The Tampa, Fla., native owns a 3.58 grade point average in biology.
A forward, Dworsky leads UNC in scoring with 15 points on six goals and three assists. He has two multi-goal games on the season, including a two-score effort against Clemson last Sunday. Dworsky, who also scored twice against Akron Sept. 9, leads the Tar Heels with three game-winning goals. The Huntsville, Ala., native owns a 4.0 GPA and has not declared a major.
The Atlantic Coast Conference dominated the first team with eight of the 12 selections for District III.
Ababio, Dworsky and the Tar Heels are back in action Saturday at No. 2 Wake Forest at 7 p.m.
