SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse sophomore Amanda Hamilton was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District I Women's Soccer Second Team on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Hamilton played in 12 games for the Orange in 2010, making two starts on defense. She helped Syracuse post shutouts against Old Dominion and Binghamton. Hamilton and the Orange posted six wins this season, its highest single-season victory total since 2007.
