NEWPORT NEWS, VA. - Old Dominion University placed six student athletes on the 2011 Virginia Sports Information Directors Association Academic All-State team as released today. Trian Iliadis (Men's Basketball), Adam Roscioli (Men's Soccer), Amanda Bieber (Field Hockey), Kristofer Hagg (Men's Swimming & Diving), Alyssa Pietrobono (Women's Soccer) and Phil McCarthy (Baseball) were selected.
A total of 30 schools and 180 student-athletes (six per school) from the commonwealth are honored for their academic performance this past school year. Here is a brief biographical sketch on Bieber:
Amanda Bieber, Sr., Elizabethtown, PA. is a Dean's List student at ODU and a three-time CAA Commissioner's Academic Award recipient. The senior biology major has been named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad for the past three years and was selected to the 2009 Mid-Atlantic High Performance Training Squad. Last December, Bieber was named CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year for Field hockey. On the field this season, Bieber anchored an ODU defense that posted seven shutouts and limited five other opponents to only one goal. Three of the shutouts came against nationally ranked foes (Boston U., Drexel and Michigan). The Lady Monarchs captured their 14th CAA championship in 2010 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
