The CoSIDA Division III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division III national governance structure, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2015-16 Division III Academic All-America® teams program.

Bermudes is a forward from San Diego, California, and carries a 3.92 G.P.A. as a health science major. Both are repeat CoSIDA Academic All-America® first-team selections. Bermudes is making her third appearance overall, earning third team honors in 2013.
On the field, Andryk is a three-time NSCAA All-America honoree and is just one of 19 players in NCAA Division III history to record 40 goals and 40 assists during his career. In 2014, he earned first team All-America honors from both the NSCAA and D3soccer.com.
