SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco State men's soccer players Ruben Huerta and Pedro Zorraquin have been named to the 2023 Academic All-District® Men's Soccer Team, as selected by College Sports Communicators.

The Gators duo were among 24 from around the CCAA. The program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the pitch and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes soccer honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Senior Ruben Huerta appeared in 16 of the Gators' 17 contests and made half a dozen starts. He had an assist in the Gators' 3-2 win at Chaminade. A graduate student, Zorraquin appeared in all 17 matches with seven starts.

To be considered for the honor, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 at his current institution. Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games at their position. No student-athlete is eligible until he has completed one full calendar year at his current institution and is at least a sophomore academically and athletically.

Select Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in early December. The Division II CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2023-24 Division II Academic All-America® program.
