Linn Beck | @StonyBrookWSOC | X

Linn Beck has been named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America team.

The Stony Brook Seawolf becomes the third student-athlete in program history to earn the honor. Beck also was voted #96 on Top Drawer Soccer's Top 100 Players in 2024.

As a women's soccer junior midfielder, Beck was named to the Second Team. She joins Alyssa Francese and Chelsie DePonte as the only other players in school history to take that honor.

Earlier this offseason, Beck received United Soccer Coaches All-East Region distinction and was named to the All-ECAC First Team. She finished the season with 10 goals, six assists and 26 points, becoming the first student-athlete in program history to be named conference midfielder of the year. Beck scored the game-winning goal in the Seawolves' win over Monmouth in the CAA Championship, earning Most Outstanding Performer honors.

This honor is more than just what is done on the field as she has also been an outstanding student with a 3.92 grade point average, majoring in psychology.

Student-athletes on this year's Scholar All-America Teams will be formally acknowledged for their accomplishments on the field and in the classroom at the United Soccer Coaches All-America Ceremony on Saturday, January 11, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
