PHILADELPHIA – Haverford College's Meg Boyer has been voted onto the Philadelphia Inquirer's2013 Academic All-Area Women's Soccer Team, as announced by the Philadelphia Area Sports Information Directors Association (Philly-SIDA).

Boyer is one of 11 student-athletes to earn 2013 academic all-area honors. Arcadia University's Kim Canfield was tabbed the team's performer of the year.

In order to be eligible for academic all-area, an athlete must be in at least her second year at the institution and own a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 or higher. The team is voted on by the sports information offices of the 28 area institutions from the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

Boyer, in her senior season, helped lead the Fords into the NCAA Division III 2013 women's soccer tournament marking the second consecutive season in which Haverford qualified for the national postseason playoffs.

With eight goals, a team high, and one assist Boyer accumulated a team-best 17 points which tied for seventh-most within the Centennial Conference's leaders this fall. Her four game-winning goals led Haverford and tied for third in the conference.

Each of Boyer's game-winning markers came in successive games during Haverford's push toward a high seed in the Centennial tournament. She netted the only goal on Oct. 16 at Bryn Mawr College in a 1-0 win, scored the game-winner three days later in a 2-1 victory at McDaniel College, notched the opening two goals in a 4-0 home win against Washington College, then capped the streak on Oct. 26 with a second-half goal that lifted Haverford past visiting Swarthmore College by a 1-0 score.

For her career, Boyer owns the program record for game-winners, with 16, and ranks second in games played (77), tied for fifth in goals (30) and is sixth in points (75).

Earlier in this postseason Boyer was named a third-team forward on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tire D-III All-Mid-Atlantic Region team, a first-team all-Centennial selection, and earned inclusion on the conference's academic honor roll for the third time.

During Boyer's tenure with the Fords her team has played in the past two conference-tournament finals -- winning the 2012 match-up against top-seed and host Johns Hopkins University -- following semifinal appearances in 2010 and 2011. Haverford's berths in the NCAA tournament with Boyer leading the attack are only the second and third in program history. The team also qualified for the D-III tournament in 2005.
