Sunesson led the Golden Eagles to their first NCAA trip since 2013 this spring
AUSTIN, Texas – Junior striker Lukas Sunesson has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® First Team, it was announced last week.
Sunesson is the first Golden Eagle to earn first team honors since Charlie Lyon was selected in consecutive years in 2013 and 2014. Scott Ziemba is the only other former Marquette player to earn the recognition in both 1995 and 1996.
A double major in operations & supply chain management and international business, Sunesson holds a 3.82 GPA in the classroom. The latest honors add to a growing number of accolades for the junior striker this spring. He also earned United Soccer Coaches First Team Scholar All-America recognition in the classroom and was a second team all-America and a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist on the pitch. He was named to the United Soccer Coaches First Team All-East Region and made the All-BIG EAST First Team.
The Taby, Sweden native had a breakout season that saw him score a team-best six goals along with two assists. He played a key role in leading the No. 13-ranked Golden Eagles (8-3-2, 5-1-1 BIG EAST) to one of their best seasons in program history after winning the BIG EAST Midwest Division title and earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament Round of 16.
Sunesson still has two more years of collegiate eligibility. In his MU career, he's scored 14 goals with three assists in 50 games played. His 31 points are the most among any active Golden Eagle.
